Enzo Maresca on Nicolas Jackson:
"Nicolas Jackson scored but he was exceptional, running for two players, pressing the goalkeeper and the right centre-back."
Enzo Maresca on competing for the Premier League title:
"I think we are not ready to compete with Arsenal, Liverpool and City for many reasons. Just because we win today then I won't change my idea."
[via NizaarKinsella]
Enzo Maresca on #Chelsea's 3-0 win:
"The performance was very good. Top performance on and off the ball and very happy with the three points."
Enzo Maresca on Nicolas Jackson and Enzo Fernandez scoring again:
"They are attacking players, they need to be in the box when we are attacking. We saw today that they scored in both games. Enzo was in the right position so we just need to continue."
Enzo Maresca on Robert Sanchez's performance:
"We don't have any doubt, it is more outside noise about him. But we are very happy because he is helping us saving goals and helping in the build up."
Enzo Maresca on Moises Caicedo playing at right-back:
"Moi deserves the best because he is a fantastic guy, very humble, everything we ask he is there to do it."
Enzo Maresca on Wesley Fofana's injury:
"It's bad news. He has a muscular problem. It looks like it's his hamstring. These [injuries] usually require at least three, four or five weeks out... It's a big loss."

STARTING XI:
Sanchez - 8: Huge save in the first half to deny Watkins. Distribution excellent too throughout.
Caicedo - 9: Unreal on and off the ball, inverting from right-back. Quality performance yet again.
Fofana - 8: Couple of uncomfortable moments but prevented a goal with his recovery pace.
Colwill - 9: 1v1 defending was spot on and came clutch on numerous occasions with blocks and interceptions.
Cucurella - 8: Brilliant counter-pressing for first goal, defensively flawless in aerial duels too.
Lavia - 7.5: Provided defensive balance albeit looked rusty, losing a few duels.
Fernandez - 8.5: Fantastic off the ball harassing Villaβs midfield and a lovely finish for his goal in the first half.
Neto - 8: Always causing a problem off either flank, deserved an assist.
Palmer - 9 [MOTM]: Assist and a top class finish to round off another stellar display. Looked a class above in the second half.
Sancho - 8: Ball retention and linkup play in tight spaces a delight to watch, growing game by game.
Jackson - 8.5: Brilliant poacherβs finish and unlucky to not get a second from Martinez error.
SUBSTITUTES:
Badiashile - 7: Added a layer of physical protection up against Duran. Solid.
Madueke - 7.5: Fresh off the bench with an assist for Palmerβs beauty.
Nkunku - 7: Deserved a goal towards end, didnβt have much involvement otherwise.
Felix - 6.5: Instantly displayed his flair and technical quality, couldβve done better with his shot straight at Olsen.
Gusto - N/A
