SARRIBALL: Chelsea Boss Equals EPL Record
After Sunday’s win, Chelsea head coach Maurizio Sarri has equalled a Premier League record after going unbeaten in his first 11 top-flight matches in charge of the London club.
It was all Spanish against the Eagles as Alvaro Morata scored twice with fellow Spaniard Pedro also on target as Chelsea beat Crystal Palace 3-1 at Stamford Bridge on Sunday to move ahead of Liverpool on goal difference into second place.
The 59-year-old is now unbeaten in his first 11 Premier League games as Chelsea head coach – equalling the record set by Nottingham Forest boss Frank Clark between August and October 1994.
Forest would go on and finish third that season, which remains the highest finish by a newly-promoted side in Premier League history.
Sarri has yet to taste defeat in any competition, bar a 2-0 loss to Manchester City in the Community Shield at Wembley in August.
