Chelsea manager, Enzo Maresca, has admitted that their 1-0 win over Manchester United was a “difficult”;; game.
Maresca, speaking to Sky Sports after the match, said United were “so aggressive”;; in a way he has never seen them.
Marc Cucurella continued his fine form in front of goal with the decisive goal in the second half.
The win gives Chelsea a great chance of finishing in the Premier League top five and qualifying for the Champions League.
“It was quite confident because I know how difficult it is to play against United,”;; Maresca said.
“We expected a very tough game. They played very well.
“I used to watch five, six, seven games when we play against a team. I have never watched them [Man Utd] so aggressive – they were man to man, and it was very difficult.
“Off the ball I think we played a fantastic game. The team was very aggressive until the end, we tried to press higher, and I think we deserved to win the game.”;;
