Hello and welcome to football.london for live coverage of Enzo Maresca’s post-match press conference at the Amex Stadium.

Chelsea have just been knocked out of the FA Cup at the fourth round stage with Brighton coming from behind to beat the Blues 2-1 on the south coast. Cole Palmer forced a mistake from Bart Verbruggen early on to give the visitors the lead.

However, Georginio Rutter levelled not too long afterwards with a header into the bottom corner. Kaoru Mitoma put the Seagulls ahead after the half-time break and they held on to progress into the fifth round of England’s most historic competition.

We will hear from Maresca to give us his thoughts on what just happened very shortly. The Chelsea head coach is due in the room any minute now and you can follow along with every word the Italian has to say right here with football.london in attendance.
