Enzo Maresca has sent Chelsea fans a message following their Premier League victory on Monday (3 February) against West Ham.

The Blues got back to winning ways in dramatic fashion after they had to fight from behind to secure three points at Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea fell behind in the first half after Levi Colwill gave away the ball to Jarrod Bowen, but second-half substitutions from Maresca helped to change the game.

Pedro Neto came off the bench to score an equaliser before Cole Palmer’s deflected shot found the back of the net and gave Maresca’s team the win.

It was a much-needed three points for the Blues in what has been a difficult period for the club, which has pulled them away from the title race.

The victory was only Chelsea’s second in their previous eight Premier League fixtures, which has been a run to forget.

Chelsea bolstered their pursuit of Champions League football by moving back into the top four after overtaking Man City and Newcastle, which Maresca celebrated on Instagram.

He said, “Thanks to the team for the fantastic effort from last night game and thanks to all our fans. Together we are even stronger.”

The Blues are two points ahead of City and Newcastle, while they’re now placing pressure on Nottingham Forest who sit four points above them.

Maresca’s team will now face consecutive games against Brighton away from home, starting on Saturday (8 February) in the FA Cup.

Chelsea will then play the Seagulls again on Valentine’s Day in their next Premier League outing.
