Chelsea manager Maresca delighted to see Boehly and Eghbali united despite breakup speculation - Paul Vegas

Maresca expressed his satisfaction following the 3-0 victory today: "It's always special when we win games for our fans. Having them here with us makes it even more rewarding, as we are able to create memorable moments for them."

"They were in the changing room, they were all happy. The result and the points are always important in our business. For me, the main target in this moment is to see how we progress as a team.

"We are improving many things. Today, we could attack better and we could defend better but especially we can manage the game much, much better. Sometimes we need to give more passes and keep the ball but we are in a rush and trying to attack immediately. Overall, we deserved to win the game."

Asked if they had spoken to the players before kickoff, Maresca added: "They were happy after the match. Before the game, no because we are preparing. But after the game, both of them were happy."
