Chelsea made it three wins in a row in all competitions with a hard fought win against Leicester on Sunday, which clearly meant a lot to Enzo Maresca.Marc Cucurella scored the only goal of the game

When players score against their former teams, they tend to make a big show out of not celebrating. Maresca may have done the same during his playing career, but he certainly had no reservations about showing his delight with the three points and a third consecutive win in all competitions.

Maresca has previously defended the team’s style under his leadership, which prioritises possession over quick transitions, and the patience of fans was tested again here as chances to hit Leicester on the counter-attack were passed up in favour of slowing the pace of the match.
