Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca has been speaking after today's victory: "It was a good game. Probably we struggled in some moments of the game but I think this kind of game the team needed also to learn.

"I prefer to have more possession! But we struggled a little bit at the beginning of the game, we conceded possession because they surprised us a bit tactically, but overall we were quite good.

On Cole Palmer: "I know Cole Palmer from many years ago, I had him at Manchester City in the under-23s. The best thing is the way he is as a human is the same way. This doesn't change his life and that is the best thing for him.

"You'd have to be blind if you didn't see those kind of things with Cole. I said that he scored four but he could have scored more, I say always to be ambitious and hungry to score more."
