Alejandro Garnacho’s second-half equaliser saved a point for the Blues after Willian Estevao’s opener had been turned on its head by the hosts.
That victory in the north of the capital put their disappointing home defeat by Sunderland behind them, and now, Maresca’s men sit seventh in the league, eight points of league leaders Arsenal, but just two adrift of second-placed Manchester City.
Winless in their 10 league games this term, this weekend’s hosts were beaten 3-2 at home by Burnley, which sealed Pereira’s fate.
Under-21 coach James Collins and Under-18 manager Richard Walker are currently in interim charge of the first team while the club search for a new head coach.
