Enzo Maresca Praises Chelsea's Defending in Their Win over Burnley
Chelsea's defensive strategy led by Maresca secured a 2-0 win with a clean sheet, limiting Burnley to just one significant chance, boosting confidence ahead of key upcoming matches.
- Enzo Maresca's side sealed a 2-0 win at Turf Moor on Saturday, with Pedro Neto and Enzo Fernandez scoring one in each half.
- After the international break, Maresca rotated the side with four changes from the Wolves win and left Moises Caicedo on the bench, while Reece James was withdrawn at half-time to manage minutes.
- Chelsea recorded another clean sheet, conceding just one important chance in the second half as Burnley started strongly but created very few meaningful opportunities.
- With momentum from this result, Chelsea head into two important fixtures next week, as they prepare for Barcelona on Tuesday and Arsenal next weekend.
- Liam Delap remains without a goal for Chelsea this season; he started before being replaced by Malo Gusto, with Michael Owen calling his display `mixed bag` and Enzo Maresca urging patience.
