'He was running everywhere': Maresca praises Chelsea star after win vs Leicester

Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca has heaped praise on Pedro Neto following the club's 1-0 Premier League win over Leicester City at Stamford Bridge.

The Blues registered a second-straight league victory following a solid performance against the Foxes. Marc Cucurella scored the only goal of the game for the west London giants.

Speaking after the win, Maresca was particularly pleased for Neto and said that the Portuguese was running everywhere and was fantastic against the Midlands outfit.

He said: "Pedro is doing fantastic - he was running everywhere today, he was running. This spirit is what we need and what we all need to be aware; fans, you, us, it's what we need."

Chelsea's victory has moved them back into the top four of the Premier League. They are two points clear of Manchester City behind them.

The Blues will now host Copenhagen in the second leg of the Conference League round of 16 on Thursday before facing Arsenal on the road.
