Colwill grateful to Chelsea boss Maresca for his trust

Chelsea defender Levi Colwill has said that the trust placed in him by Enzo Maresca has led him to play his best football, and the defender admitted that he feels full of confidence every time he pulls on the Blues shirt at the moment.

"It was a really good result (against Brighton) and a really strong team performance. I think last season, this game would have been a lot different."

"I wouldn’t say we were completely at our best, we know we can still improve, but we got a big three points and hopefully we can maintain this momentum and keep building in the right direction under the gaffer," added Colwill.

The English player said that the Blues have a lot of talent in their ranks and have become a more dangerous team than last season, praising team-mate Cole Palmer who is in sensational form.

"At times it really clicked for us and when we do play our best football, we look very dangerous. We’ve also got that extra spark in us to win games through sheer talent, which showed with how Cole performed."

"Cole is a massive player for us. Look at him against Brighton - he scores out of nothing and he turns half-chances into goals. He’s a really special player and we all know that he can go on a level yet, which is the scary thing," he concluded.
