Top insider reveals what Maresca shouted at Chelsea fans after Cucurella scored against Leicester | OneFootball

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 as the Blues ground out a 1-0 win against the Foxes to move back into the top four.

It could have been a more comfortable afternoon had Cole Palmer not missed a first half penalty, the first of his senior career, but truth be told Leicester never really looked like scoring.

What Maresca did after Cucurella scored

It was a frustrating first half with Chelsea not creating many opportunities, but the breakthrough came on the hour mark, with Cucurella firing in a brilliant strike and the Spaniard has now scored in back to back league games.

It was a hugely important three points for the Blues and you could see how much it meant to Maresca at full time with his celebrations.

The Italian later revealed why he celebrated so much, with the Blues having to change their game plan in the warm-up.

Maresca was also very passionate on the touchline after Chelsea took the lead and instead of celebrating with his coaching staff, journalist Kieran Gill reported what he did.

He took to X.com and said:

“While Chelsea’s players were celebrating that goal from Marc Cucurella, Enzo Maresca was urging the fans to show some support. Shouted “hey, come on” at those next to the #CFC dugout.”
