Jurrien Timber Tells Enzo Maresca to 'Try Harder' in Heated Touchline Exchange

Jurrien Timber sparked controversy during Arsenal's recent Premier League clash with Chelsea at the Emirates Stadium when he confronted Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca.

In the closing stages of the match, Timber approached Maresca on the sideline and reportedly told him to "try harder" before extending his hand for a handshake. Maresca responded by covering his mouth before accepting the handshake with a light-hearted demeanor.

The incident did not go down well with many Chelsea supporters, who took to social media to express their displeasure. Some fans labeled the exchange as "embarrassing" and remarked that such behavior would not have been tolerated under previous managers.

The match ended with Arsenal securing a narrow 1-0 victory thanks to a goal from Mikel Merino. The result saw Chelsea remain in fourth place in the league standings, significantly behind leaders Liverpool.

Adding to Chelsea's woes, their top scorer, Cole Palmer, was absent from the match after sustaining a minor injury during training. Enzo Maresca addressed Palmer's situation, expressing hope for his return after the international break.
