Chelsea’s Joao Pedro Ends Nine-Game Goal Drought Thanks to Moises Caicedo in Crucial Spurs Win

Chelsea striker Joao Pedro has openly stated he owes a dinner to midfielder Moises Caicedo after the Ecuadorian’s crucial intervention helped him break a significant goal drought during the club’s recent 1-0 victory over Tottenham Hotspur. Pedro, who had not found the back of the net for nine matches across all competitions since his last Premier League goal in August, sealed the three points for the Blues with the winner against their London rivals.

The breakthrough moment arrived when Moises Caicedo swiftly won possession back from Spurs defender Micky van de Ven and delivered the key assist to Pedro. The Brazilian forward, relieved to end his scoring slump, confirmed the light-hearted debt to his teammate, telling reporters he had promised the dinner invitation at half-time. This essential win not only provided a massive boost for Chelsea’s league standing but also highlighted the growing influence of Moises Caicedo in the midfield, who manager Enzo Maresca later praised, comparing him to the world-class Rodri.
