After the match against Tottenham, Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca said: “In any case, I’m happy with the 1-0 and with the three points, especially because we kept the clean sheet, that I think is something that we need for the future.
“We know that we are a team that at the end we are going to score goals, but we need to do better defensively.”
