Maresca, who was suspended for the game, watched from the director's box and shared his thoughts after the match. He said, "I prefer to be on the bench, but we won the game and we are happy. I was in contact with the bench, and we were able to communicate effectively."

Chelsea dominated the first half, controlling the game and not conceding any chances. Maresca praised the team's performance, saying, "We were strong and nasty when we needed to be." He also acknowledged the home support, saying, "We will get better and better as the players learn to play different games. The fans should trust us because this team will improve over time."

Maresca was delighted for Nicolas Jackson, who scored his first goal for the team from outside the box. He said, "We don't have doubts about Nico and Cole (Palmer), Robert (Sanchez). It's just a matter of time for them to shine." He also praised goalkeeper Robert Sanchez, saying, "The teammates celebrated with him, and they know he's been through a tough time. He's had many good moments this season, and we support him."

Maresca was pleased with the team's mentality, particularly in the second half when Everton threw everything at them. He said, "We were very pleased with the mentality. We started the game strongly, and we won the game. The result is the most important thing at this stage of the season."
