Mateo Kovacic’s goal added to Chelsea’s frustration
Mateo Kovacic scored a great goal in the 84th minute of the match to give City a 2-0 lead. This goal was against his old club. The match was disappointing for Chelsea’s new coach Enzo Maresca. His team had scoring opportunities but failed to capitalize on them. Chelsea striker Nicholas Jackson had a late first-half goal ruled out for offside. He then volleyed the ball past goalkeeper Ederson from close range.
While our performance was solid, we missed out on taking full advantage of the chances that came our way.Maybe the big difference was inside the box,” Maresca said.
Controversy raged at Brentford
