Maurizio Sarri equals Premier League unbeaten streak record for new managers with win over Crystal Palace

By -
Chelsea ran out 3-1 winners over Crystal Palace on Sunday, meaning that the Italian has not been beaten in any of his first eleven league matches in charge of the club.
Alvaro Morata starred with a brace and Pedro netted the third as Sarri’s side outgunned their opposition.
This result puts him level with former Nottingham Forest boss Frank Clark, who also went eleven unbeaten in 1994.
The Blues came closest to defeat when they hosted Manchester United in October, however a late Ross Barkley equaliser ensured the manager’s streak continued.
When asked about the record after the Palace win, the 59-year-old declared: “I was lucky, because I have very good players.”
Maurizio Sarri will now have the chance to break the record when Chelsea host Everton at Stamford Bridge next Sunday.

Alexander Zverev has lifted the lid on his on-court argument with Karen Khachanov, explaining it was due to his shoulder injury. At the end of a one-sided first set in his 6-1 6-2 defeat, Zverev complained to Khachanov about what he believed to be over-zealous reactions from the Russian’s camp at courtside. “I told him my shoulder is hurting and that his uncle, or something, he’s going a bit crazy,” he explained. “And I told him to tell him to keep it down because he was going a little bit too much over the edge. “I was never going to win the match, so it was just I told him to calm down a little bit.” “When you are losing, maybe you get frustrated from some calls from somebody in the crowd.” Khachanov added: “Maybe somebody from my box screamed on his mistake and that was the reason. “But then we’re good friends outside the court and everything is fine.”

FUMING MANCHESTER UNITED FANS TEAR INTO TEAM AFTER DISMAL START V BOURNEMOUTH

Manchester United fans are not happy after a poor opening to their game against Bournemouth. In a shambolic start, United saw their defence torn to shreds by an exciting and vibrant Bournemouth side who are playing some excellent football at this moment in time. The attacking players, without Romelu Lukaku, failed to link up with Alexis Sanchez and Anthony Martial failing to got hold of the ball and show their attacking flair. However, for the United fans, it was Jose Mourinho and the weak back line who took the brunt of the abuse on social media. The opening Bournemouth goal came from a corner as Junior Stanislas was left in acres of space on the right-hand side. He squared the ball to Callum Wilson who finished with aplomb and has now scored more goals that Harry Kane and Mo Salah this season. John Gorman on Twitter said: “Smalling again. Biggest liability we have. We seriously need to get him out of the team. Bang average at best.” Ryan on Twitter: “We have an unparallele...

Divock Origi rescued Liverpool's Premier League title bid with a 86th-minute winner as a 3-2 victory over Newcastle shifted the pressure onto Manchester City with moments to spare. Liverpool's title challenge looked set to unravel at St James' Park as strikes from Christian Atsu (20) and Salomon Rondon (54) saw Newcastle came from behind twice to cancel out first-half goals from Virgil van Dijk (13) and Mohamed Salah (28). Liverpool's cause was further hampered by the loss of Salah to a nasty head injury midway through the second half, but his replacement Origi's glancing header sealed a priceless victory for Jurgen Klopp's side as this season's fascinating title race took another twist. The victory sees Liverpool move two points clear at the top of the table and applies the pressure on champions Manchester City ahead of their clash with Leicester on Monday Night Football.
