Hello and welcome to football.london for live coverage of Enzo Maresca's post-match press conference following Chelsea's 5-1 win against Ajax.
The Blues are now on nine points in the Champions League league phase table, with goals from Marc Guiu, Moises Caicedo, Enzo Fernandez, Estevao Willian and Tyrique George sealing a comfortable victory at Stamford Bridge. Ajax were reduced to 10 men early on when Kenneth Taylor's high challenge on Facundo Buonanotte saw him head down the tunnel.
Guiu gave Chelsea the advantage early on from close range from the resulting free-kick, moments before Caicedo's deflected strike found the bottom corner. Ajax responded when Wout Weghorst beat Filip Jorgensen from the penalty spot after Tosin Adarabioyo was penalised for a foul.
There was another penalty, but this time for Chelsea. Fernandez was the man who took responsibility and there was no mistake from the Argentine. And there was time for a third penalty in the first-half when Estevao was brought down in the box and the Brazilian took the ball and found the corner emphatically.
Tyrique George, on at half-time, scored moments after entering the pitch to cap off a pretty perfect evening for Chelsea - one that Maresca will be delighted with. Bobby Vincent is live in west London this evening to bring you every word Maresca has to say.
