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.

> With young players, most of the time you are a bit worried because most of the time, they play one or two games and score and they think they are already top players. But we don't need to worry about that with Estevao. He's very humble and polite and he has family close to him.
22:35Bobby Vincent
> We need to continue on that, knowing that Sunderland is a tough game. We are going to try and prepare the game with the same intention we've had since day one, to win the game. And then we will see.
22:35Bobby Vincent
> We always said the same, we go game by game. Tonight was good to win, to continue the momentum. In 48 hours, we have another game that is very demanding. It's good for everyone, for the club, it's a win and it personally doesn't mean too much in terms of the season.
22:34Bobby Vincent
> It's the strategy of the club. We have so many young players. Last season, we were the youngest squad in the history of the Premier League and this season we continue the same way. We made 10 changes tonight and it's not easy, but we have to do that otherwise they are going to struggle. Tonight was good because we could rotate players, especially with the red card.
22:33Bobby Vincent
> Very proud. It's a special night for the club, for the young players. Guiu already scored five or six times last year, Ty already scored in the Premier League. It was a special night for these young players and the club.
