Maresca blasts ‘very poor’ Chelsea after 3-1 loss to Leeds
Chelsea's Premier League title hopes suffered a major blow with a shocking 3-1 defeat against Leeds. Manager Enzo Maresca criticized his team's lacklustre performance, citing fatigue and missing key player Moises Caicedo as contributing factors. Leeds capitalized on Chelsea's poor first half, scoring twice before Pedro Neto reduced the deficit. However, a late defensive error gifted Leeds a third goal, sealing Chelsea's first defeat in eight games and leaving them nine points behind league leaders Arsenal. Maresca acknowledged Leeds deserved the win and emphasized the need for his team to reset and improve their consistency.
