“No matter how many games we are going to win, I think we’re not ready to compete for the title,” said Maresca.

Enzo Maresca continued to insist Chelsea cannot win the Premier League title after they moved to within two points of the summit with a 2-1 win over Brentford at Stamford Bridge.

The head coach cited the visitors’ goal scored in the 90th minute which set up a tense finish as evidence his team cannot compete for the crown but after a dominant display to earn a fifth league win in a row it was increasingly difficult not to see them as the main challengers to leaders Liverpool.
