Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca has explained why his team suffered a 2-1 defeat to Fulham in the Premier League on Boxing Day.
Cole Palmer gave the Blues an early lead in the first half.
However, two late goals from Harry Wilson and Rodrigo Muniz in the second half secured victory for Fulham over Maresca’s side.
Speaking in his post-match interview, Maresca attributed the loss to his team’s failure to manage transitions effectively in the second half.
“I think probably in the first 10-15 minutes of the second half, we conceded too many transitions to them,” Maresca told Prime Video in the UK.
“We could have controlled the second half much better, especially in the first 15-20 minutes. Then the game was there. But unfortunately, we conceded the goal in the last minute.”
