Enzo Maresca dreams of 1-0 victories after Chelsea bow out of FA Cup at Brighton Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca said “big clubs” are able to win games 1-0 as he branded his side’s FA Cup exit at Brighton a “big shame”.
Asked about the absence of nine-goal forward Jackson, who, like Guiu, was injured in Monday’s 2-1 top-flight win over West Ham, Maresca said: “Sometimes you need to play games without players to realise how important they are.
“I said to the players already weeks ago and I said it again tonight, we need to learn how to win sometimes a game 1-0,” said Maresca.
Verbruggen inexplicably spilled Cole Palmer’s tame effort into his own net before Rutter quickly headed Albion level, prior to Mitoma’s fine, 57th-minute finish settling the all Premier League tie.
Hurzeler, whose team host Chelsea in the Premier League on Friday evening, backed Netherlands international Verbruggen to swiftly set aside his error.
