Enzo Maresca spoke to BBC Match of the Day after Chelsea's defeat against Liverpool: "We don't like to drop points and lose a game, but if you have to choose a way this is the way.

"We came here and tried to control the game, dominate. For most of the game we played in their half and I thought the performance was fantastic.

"I came here many times in the past and I know how difficult it is but the way we controlled and managed the game was fantastic.

"This is the right direction."

On referee decisions in the game: "There are some decisions that have been clear for everyone, the referee is there to take a decision and they decide in a different way.

"It is a setback because we lost but the performance was probably one of the best of the season."
