Enzo Maresca revelled in Chelsea’s Champions League qualification, telling those who have doubted him and his young side to "f*** off".

Despite winning just once on the road in the Premier League since Christmas - and scoring just five goals - Chelsea overcame their away-day blues to beat Nottingham Forest 1-0 at the City Ground on Sunday.

The result secured a Champions League place for the first time since Thomas Tuchel guided them to third in 2022 - and prompted a bullish response from Maresca.
