"We work on some patterns for sure. I prefer the five players at the front to score 10 to 12 goals rather than have a striker to score 40 goals,"
"I like the wingers scoring, giving assists like Jamie [Gittens] did. We work on some patterns to create some chances for attacking players."
"Gittens set up Neto's headed opener and now has four assists in his last four starts in all competitions for Chelsea - excluding the Club World Cup, he has the most assists for the Blues this season (four). Neto has also been involved in five goals across his last five league appearances for Chelsea (three goals, two assists), scoring as many goals this term (four in 12) as he did in the entirety of last season (four in 35)."
Chelsea secured a 2-0 win at Burnley with goals from Pedro Neto and Enzo Fernandez, recording their fifth win in six Premier League matches and the third consecutive clean sheet for the first time since March 2022. The victory moved Chelsea to second in the table, three points behind leaders Arsenal. Joao Pedro and Liam Delap were ineffective, while substitute Marc Guiu set up Fernandez's late finish. Jamie Gittens provided the assist for Neto and has four assists in his last four starts. Neto has been involved in five goals in his last five league appearances. Maresca favors shared attacking responsibility over reliance on a single prolific striker.
