Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca asked supporters to “trust the process” following a protest against the club’s owners that preceded their 4-0 win over Southampton.

About 200 fans gathered outside Stamford Bridge with banners and smoke flares before kick-off to voice opposition to the running of the club during the nearly three years since the BlueCo consortium fronted by Todd Boehly and Behdad Eghbali acquired the club.
