Maresca praises 'top performance' as red-hot Chelsea thrash Aston Villa

Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca expressed satisfaction following the team's victory over Aston Villa on Sunday.

Chelsea secured a 3-0 win, with goals scored by Nicolas Jackson, Enzo Fernandez, and Cole Palmer.

Maresca remarked after the match: "The performance was excellent. It was a top display both on and off the ball, and I am very pleased with the three points."

Regarding the contributions of Enzo and Jackson, he stated: "They are offensive players who must position themselves in the box during our attacks. Today, we witnessed their scoring ability in both matches. Enzo was in the right place, and we must maintain this momentum."

On the performance of goalkeeper Robert Sanchez, Maresca commented: "We have no doubts about him; any concerns are merely external noise. We are very pleased with his contributions in preventing goals and aiding in our build-up play."

Chelsea defender Wesley Fofana had to leave the field due to injury, and Maresca noted: "It appears to be a muscular issue, likely a hamstring injury. We will assess the situation further."

"I cannot provide any estimates at this moment regarding his recovery time."
