His stellar form was underlined by his first Chelsea hat-trick, leading the Blues to a 4-1 triumph over Aston Villa at Villa Park.
That victory not only delighted the Stamford Bridge faithful but also strengthened Chelsea's position in the Champions League conversation, as they aim to secure European football next season.

"People don't know how good he is," Caicedo said of Joao Pedro.
"For me he's one of the best players, not just in the Premier League but in the world. His movement, the way he plays, how he scores goals - for me, as a striker he has everything."
