EPL: “You Cannot Continue to Give Away Presents” — Maresca Slams Chelsea!

Reported by David Joshua | Sele Media Africa

Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca has expressed frustration after the Blues suffered a 3-1 home defeat to Brighton, blaming careless mistakes and disciplinary issues for the result.

Speaking after the match at Stamford Bridge, Maresca said:

“You cannot continue to give away presents and expect to win games at this level.”

Chelsea were reduced to 10 men following a red card incident in the first half — a turning point that allowed Brighton to dominate and secure a convincing win.

Maresca, who recently took over as head coach, emphasized the need for discipline, concentration, and consistency, warning that such errors could derail their season.
