Pochettino said: "I expect more from him even if he is doing well. I think next season I have no doubt he will be much better.

"Now he knows what it means to play for Chelsea, all of the pressure off.

"The players believe in the way that we work and they agree in the way we want to apply our philosophy and the way to play and that is fantastic.

"The idea to have players that really trust and believe and that is why the future will be amazing.

"He is one of the players that still has room to improve."

Raheem Sterling added to Caicedo's stunner before Benoit Badiashile's own goal pulled one back for the visitor's.

But Chelsea held out to secure Europa Conference League football next season while ending their campaign with five wins on the spin.
