The Blues were in dominant fashion, with starman Cole Palmer opening his account for the season with a brilliant volley. Nicolas Jackson also scored his first while the returning João Felix also scored.

“In terms of the boos, I expected it. That’s part of the game, you have to be able to play under that pressure,” he added.

It was a bold call from Enzo Maresca to start the attacker of Nigerian descent, knowing he was walking into a hostile environment, and he repaid the faith.

The decision also came after the manager told the winger to work hard in training otherwise, he would not be selected to play following his midweek goal against Servette.
