Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca admitted he may have risked his team’s chances of holding on to their 1-0 lead over Tottenham Hotspur after making defensive substitutions late in the game.

Reflecting on the moment, Maresca acknowledged that his decision to make changes before seeing how much stoppage time would be added was a mistake. “We created plenty of chances in the first half, but when I saw 12 minutes of extra time, I realized it might have been too soon to make those changes,” he told reporters.

With the game nearing its end, Maresca swapped Cole Palmer and Enzo Fernandez for defenders Tosin Adarabioyo and midfield anchor Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, which allowed Spurs to intensify their attack in search of an equalizer during the extended stoppage time.

Thankfully for Chelsea, the strategy paid off as they managed to hold on for the win. “We’re happy we won, but it was a close call,” Maresca added.
