Enzo Maresca criticises Chelsea after 3-0 defeat by Brighton

Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca criticised the desire of his players as he reflected on his side's thumping 3-0 Premier League defeat by Brighton. Six days on from slipping to an FA Cup fourth-round exit at the Amex Stadium, the Blues suffered a crippling sense of deja vu thanks to Kaoru Mitoma’s eye-catching opener and Yankuba Minteh’s double. Maresca’s fourth-placed side have now taken just nine points from their last nine top-flight fixtures after blowing a big opportunity to put pressure on their rivals in the battle for Champions League qualification.
