Moises Caicedo escaped a red card during Chelsea's pulsating Premier League clash against Tottenham after a strong challenge on Pape Matar Sarr. The English top-flight's record signing was named on the right-hand side of the Blues' backline despite being a central midfielder by trade for a second week in a row by Enzo Maresca.
Chelsea found themselves 2-1 down inside the opening 20 minutes after Marc Cucurella slipped twice to allow the hosts to score through Dominic Solanke and Dejan Kulusevski. Jadon Sancho had pulled the visitors back into proceedings, but they were then lucky not to have been reduced to 10 men shortly after the half-hour mark.
In a thrilling end-to-end half of football, Caicedo went thundering into a challenge with Sarr and appeared to catch the Spurs man on the shin. Jamie Carragher - on Sky Sports' commentary of the match - was adamant the Ecuadorian would be given his marching orders. However, the referee felt a free-kick was sufficient and VAR concurred. Carragher was prompted into claiming: "He's got away with one there." Watch the tackle below:
