Chelsea 0-2 Manchester City: What Maresca said

Enzo Maresca spoke to BBC Match of the Day after Chelsea's defeat to Manchester City: "The performance was good and we competed against the best team in the world. We played well and created chances. The biggest difference was inside the box and how they managed the ball at the end, they are a master. We don't like to lose games but the performance was good.

"We can for sure improve many things, we've been together for just six weeks. At the same moment, we liked to analyse the game and we tried to play football and create chances. It's not easy but we did well.

"It's always tough because many of them deserve to play from the start. We have another game soon so they have chances to play for sure.

On Sterling's omission, Maresca said: "I didn't see anything because I was focused on the game. It was a tactical decision and nothing more than that.

On Manchester City: "You can see since day one that they continue in the same way. They are a master in everything and they'll continue in this same way."
