It k*lled us — Maresca list 3 things that caused Bayern defeat

Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca analysed their defeat to Bayern Munich, highlighting three key events in the match which cost his side the game. 

The World Champions were soundly beaten by Vincent Kompany’s Bayern Munich 3-1. Cole Palmer scored the Blues’ only goal in the game. Bayern Munich got their goals through a Harry Kane brace and a Trevor Chalobah own goal. 

Speaking to TNT after the match, Maresca noted that his team had a good start to the match before conceding an avoidable own-goal. 

“Overall the performance was quite good,” he said, per the BBC. We started well for 20 minutes and created two or three chances. When we conceded a goal, we could have avoided the game changed a bit.”

Another major point of controversy in the game was when Jonathan Tah appeared to hit Chelsea's Joao Pedro with his elbow. For Maresca, the former Bayern Leverkusen man should have been sent off. He also mentioned the penalty which they conceded.

"We were in the game, we scored a goal. The decision [not to send off Jonathan Tah] was tough because it was more a red card than yellow card. Even without that we started the second half well and created chances.”

"Once we conceded the third goal the game changed again. We conceded a goal that killed the game. We were in the game until the end. With the penalty, the [non] red card, an own goal it becomes difficult.

"We can learn from this game. First of all this kind of game needs you to play the right way for 95 minutes, not just for part of the game. At times we weren't good enough.

"It was a good performance. Now it's time to recover because in two games we have a tough game."
