Chelsea's manager, Enzo Maresca, praised his team's determination following their 1-1 draw against Arsenal in the Premier League on Sunday.

The Blues faced a setback when Moises Caicedo received a straight red card for a tackle on Mikel Merino, leaving the team with only 10 players.

Despite this challenge, Maresca's squad managed to take the lead with a header from Trevor Chalobah in the second half.

“The performance was exceptional,” Maresca shared with BBC Match of the Day.

“We were a superior team when it was 11 against 11, but playing with 10 players is tough, and we handled it remarkably well.

“When it was 11 against 11, we were better than them. We aimed to utilize the best options and spaces available. We recognized that space was open for Malo and Estevao on that side.

“Tonight, we can feel satisfied even though we didn’t secure the win.”
