Moses Caicedo was part of the Chelsea side that suffered a surprise defeat last night against Middlesbrough.

Chelsea have left themselves with lots of work to do in the Carabao Cup semi-finals after losing yesterday’s first leg 1-0 away to Championship club Boro.

It means Mauricio Pochettino’s side will need to overturn a one-goal deficit when the teams clash for the second leg on January 23 at Stamford Bridge.

Despite being strong favourites in Tuesday night’s match, the Blues showed the same kind of form that has haunted their season so far. The greatest example of that was missing several clear goal-scoring opportunities.

Moises Caicedo started yet again for Chelsea in the heart of midfield.

The 22-year-old star was one of the brighter sparks on an evening when teammates around him crumbled, although he may have done a bit better tracking Boro goalscorer Hayden Hackney when he netted the winner.

He received a 7.11 match rating from WhoScored, the highest for the visitors at the Riverside Stadium. His performance included five tackles and one key pass.
