Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca blasts ’embarrassing decisions’ during five-match winless run ahead of visit of Wolves

Enzo Maresca says ‘someone should be embarrassed’ after the refereeing decisions made against Chelsea amid their five-game Premier League winless run.

In an apparent swipe at the refereeing body, the PGMOL, Maresca insisted his team deserves zero criticism. He even claimed the club had been informed by the refereeing body that they should have been awarded a penalty, believed to be a reference to their 1-1 draw at Crystal Palace when Tyrick Mitchell slid in on Pedro Neto without penalty.

Another controversial incident came when Bournemouth’s David Brooks was shown a yellow card for bringing down Marc Cucurella in last Tuesday’s 2-2 draw, marking the first time in Premier League history that a referee had dismissed a red card review on his on-field screen .

The rivals accuse Chelsea of ​​looking for calls in their favour, with Neto criticized for faking an injury before Harry Wilson scored in Fulham’s 2-1 win at Stamford Bridge.

Maresca replied: ‘If you ask me, against Southampton, it was a red card (for Jack Stephens pulling Cucurella’s hair). The other day, for me, against Bournemouth, it was a red card (for Brooks).

‘They can say what they want, but at the end of the day we don’t want to change anything. They didn’t whistle for a penalty to us and then we got an email saying sorry that it should have been a penalty. But we don’t need to apologise’.

Mail Sport believe Maresca hinted at the Neto-Mitchell clash at Selhurst Park, although PGMOL sources say no apology was given to Chelsea.

Maresca added: ‘In the last game against Bournemouth it was the first time in the Premier League that they said it was a red card and (referee Rob Jones) said it was a yellow card.

‘Someone should be embarrassed by this sort of thing, but not us. I love my players, all of them.’

On Monday night against Wolves, Chelsea are sweating over the fitness of Cole Palmer, Levi Colwills, Romeo Lavias and Enzo Fernandez after all four missed training in the build-up.
