Enzo Maresca comes out fighting for under-fire Robert Sanchez after the Chelsea keeper's latest howler

Enzo Maresca defended Robert Sanchez after the Chelsea goalkeeper’s latest mistake on Monday night, insisting the £25million man saves them more points than he costs.

Sanchez fumbled what should have been a routine catch to allow Matt Doherty to equalise at a corner. Chelsea won 3-1 nonetheless as Marc Cucurella and Noni Madueke netted, with Maresca saying afterwards: ’Fourth mistake leading to a goal? And how many times has he saved us? I think more than four.

'No problem. Mistakes happen to him, to the strikers, central defenders, no problem. Robert is doing well.
