Enzo Maresca says he would rather win 1-0 than 5-3 after his team delivers a high-scoring win. Reports describe his side beating Sunderland 5-3, in a match that produced eight goals and included a hat-trick from Dutch striker Brian Brobbey.

Despite conceding three goals, Maresca frames the result as an expected challenge, saying he anticipates difficult games. One outlet also notes that the victory lifts his side to a three-point lead at the top, underscoring the importance of taking the points even in a chaotic match. Another emphasizes Maresca’s personal preference for a tighter scoreline, while still acknowledging the game’s difficulty. Together, the accounts focus on both the match’s dramatic goal-fest and the immediate implications for the standings, without disputing the final score or key contributors.
