In the second half, Chelsea piled on the pressure, but it was Palmer who continued to struggle in goal as his effort sailed above the crossbar. Nkunku was also denied his second goal of the night as Ramsdale tipped his effort up the post.Marc Cucurella added a fourth goal for Enzo Maresca’s side after a beautiful counterattack.
Speaking after the game, Enzo Maresca backed Christopher Nkunku to give more “I am happy with him. But I know he can give more. We expect more from him.”. “But at the same time, we try to understand him. He is not a number nine and not a winger. He played as a winger tonight. He is an attacking midfielder”.He said.
