Only two players, according to Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca, impressed him during their unexpected Premier League loss to Leeds United on Wednesday. Leeds were already 2-0 ahead in the first half, with Jaka Bijol and Ao Tanaka scoring for the hosts. Pedro Neto pulled one back for the Blues after the half, before Dominic Calvert-Lewin pounced on a defensive blunder to seal victory. Chelsea now trails table leaders Arsenal by nine points as a result. Addressing his post match press conference, the former Leicester City coach singled out Alejandro Garnacho and Pedro Neto for appreciation.I think tonight’s game there is no one that was at this level or the highest level,” Maresca said. We had two chances with Cole [Palmer] and Joao [Pedro] after we scored the goal, so I believe that Pedro [Neto] and Garna [Alejandro Garnacho] in the second half were our best players. But then the third goal I think destroyed the game.’ The defeat sees Chelsea slide to fourth place with Aston Villa picking up a victory against Brighton. The Blues return to action away to Bournemouth on Saturday
