"It looked as though Liam Rosenior's first taste of Europe's premier club competition would be a sour one, as Pafos stood firm for 78 minutes. But when Pedro Neto's in-swinging corner from the right was flicked on by Wesley Fofana, Caicedo stole a march on the well-drilled Pafos defence to head into the left side of the goal."

Caicedo had four of Chelsea's seven shots on target throughout this match - the most he has ever had in a single game for the Blues - and he was rewarded at the fourth time of asking. Coming into Wednesday's game, Pafos had faced the most shots of any team in this season's Champions League (123), yet their nine goals conceded were the fewest of any team i"
Moises Caicedo's header from a Pedro Neto corner, flicked on by Wesley Fofana, produced a 1-0 Chelsea victory over Pafos. Enzo Fernandez had an earlier header disallowed for a foul in the build-up. Pafos defended deeply for long periods, with Jaja hitting the post and a handball claim against Reece James rejected. Jorrel Hato and Jay Gorter created chances, while Bruno Felipe made a vital last-ditch challenge on Alejandro Garnacho. Chelsea sit eighth and are positioned to progress to the last 16, with five teams close behind on goal difference and a final match at Napoli looming. Caicedo recorded four of Chelsea's seven shots on target, his most in a single game, and Pafos had faced the most shots in the competition while conceding just nine goals.
