Moises Caicedo, owner of the accolades at Brighton: chosen ‘Man of the Match’ against Tottenham and Potter says he ‘was incredible’ | Ecuadorians Abroad | Sports

As in the previous match, Graham Potter, manager of Brighton, praised the Ecuadorian midfielder Moisés Caicedo who on Saturday had his second game as a starter in the Premier League with the Seagulls team against Tottenham (0-1).

The Ecuadorian international was there until the 77th minute and did not participate in Albion’s goal play, which was an inspiration for Belgian Leandro Trossard in the penultimate minute of the match, but it was enough for the tricolor to be valued for the second consecutive week as Man of the Match.

In statements collected by the website of ESPNPotter noted: “It was amazing. That is his second game in the Premier League. He has had some big games for Ecuador, so he is used to playing at a high level. For us he has had to be patient and find the right moment”.

“He always plays believing in his quality. So I’m delighted for him, he’s played the last two games. It’s two games, two wins, so he’s off to a good start,” added the coach.

Moisés Caicedo, one of the most promising players in Ecuador and a regular in the national team’s calls, played in recent weeks with Brighton’s under-23 team, to pick up the pace, before enjoying his first start in the Premier League on Saturday April 9 at the Emirates Stadium against Arsenal.

This weekend, again as a visitor, Graham Potter gave confidence to Moi placing him within a line of five, along with the Ivorian-Malian Yves Bissouma, the German Pascal Groß, the Belgian Leandro Trossard. The Argentine Alexis Mac Allister went down a few meters to accompany.

Caicedo’s second stellar performance with Albion in the English championship with which he has already accumulated 168 minutes for the last two appearances.

The next game for Potter’s Seagulls will be on Wednesday, April 20, against Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City, who this Saturday was defeated by Liverpool (3-2) in the FA Cup semi-finals at Wembley. This duel will be played at the Etihad stadium starting at 2:00 p.m. (Ecuadorian time). (D)
