The west London side drew 2-2 with Newcastle and Bournemouth either side of a 2-1 defeat to Aston Villa. After Maresca left the club, interim boss Calum McFarlane oversaw a 1-1 draw at Man City.
Chelsea then lost 2-1 at Fulham in McFarlane’s final game in charge. The Blues conceded first and Liam Delap equalised before Fulham scored an 81st-minute winner.
