Enzo Maresca press conference LIVE: Chelsea boss on Liam Delap red card, Wolves win, Jamie Gittens

Hello and welcome to **football.london** for live coverage of Enzo Maresca's post-match press conference following Chelsea's 4-3 win over Wolves this evening.

The Blues are into the quarter-final of the Carabao Cup as goals from Andrey Santos, Tyrique George and Estevao Willian had the visitors cruising at the break. However, goals from Tolu Arokodare and David Moller Wolfe ensured a nervy finish from a Chelsea point of view.

Liam Delap was then sent off for picking up two yellow cards in the space of seven minutes, meaning he will miss the Tottenham trip on Saturday. Jamie Gittens then made it 4-2 before Moller Wolfe halved the deficit yet again.

Chelsea, though, managed to hold on. Not a perfect evening in terms of the performance, but the Blues are through to the last eight of the competition. **Bobby Vincent** is live at Molineux to bring you live updates from Maresca's press conference.

That's all we have time for. [Head over to here](https://www.football.london/chelsea-fc/news/every-word-furious-enzo-maresca-32777724) to read every word a furious Maresca had to say.

22:12Bobby Vincent

> We lost the balance of the game before the changes. First-half, 0-3, the game was in complete control. We panicked a little bit after conceding the first goal. It's part of the journey of this team.

22:11Bobby Vincent

> After the yellow card, I told him four or five times to stay calm. When he is on the pitch, he sometimes plays the game for himself and struggles to see the others around him.

22:11Bobby Vincent

> It's embarrassing when it's a red card like today. Two yellow cards in seven minutes. We can avoid both. It's not good.

22:10Bobby Vincent

> Absolutely, yes. A stupid foul. He deserved that. I can understand the red cards against Brighton and United, but against Nottingham and today, we can avoid that.

22:10Bobby Vincent

> Very happy first-half, very unhappy second-half. This is my personal view. We were very good first-half, playing nice football and creating chances. We didn't concede nothing. Second-half, we weren't doing the right things. The three goals we concede, we can avoid all of them. For sure, today we had a very stupid red card that was completely unnecessary.
