Newcastle 1-2 Chelsea: Sarri makes it 3 wins from 3; reaction
Although Sarri was happy to win; he was aware that his side still needs work. Paolo Di Canio told Sky Sport that Sarri would be unhappy due to his perfectionist nature; noting that Sarri-ball is not working properly due to Chelsea players holding on to the ball for too long – with Di Canio singling out Eden Hazard as the prime culprit.
Rafa Benitez, Newcastle’s manager, pinned the loss down to “soft” refereeing decisions, as he spoke to Sky Sport – stating that the game was “very close” and that the decisions for the penalty and free kick that led to Chelsea’s goals were perhaps instrumental to the final score.
