Chelsea Held 2-2 by Qarabag as Maresca Blames Box Failings and Defends Hato

Overview

• Estevao Willian opened the scoring before Qarabag seized a halftime lead following sloppy defending.
• Jorrel Hato was involved in both concessions, including a penalty he gave away, and received harsh player ratings.
• Substitute Alejandro Garnacho netted the equaliser, but Chelsea could not find a decisive third goal.
• Enzo Maresca said the difference was inside the box, citing "silly goals" conceded and insufficient finishing.
• Analysis points to Maresca’s frequent centre-back changes during a congested run as a driver of ongoing defensive inconsistency.
