Enzo Maresca, the Chelsea head coach, admitted he had to get angry with his players as they trailed League One Lincoln City at half‑time but believes his young players will be better for the experience of overcoming such an intense battle.
Lincoln scored from 30 set-pieces last season, more than any other side in the top four English divisions, and led after a ferocious barrage of long balls and long throw-ins in the opening 45 minutes.
