Maurizio Sarri became the first-ever Chelsea manager to stay unbeaten in his first 9 consecutive games since the start of the season. Ironically the record was set in the clash against Manchester United led by ex-Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho, who’s record been beaten. Indeed, Jose Mourinho was the Blues manager who remained unbeaten after first eight Premier League games in 2004. Later in 2008 the record was equalled by Felipe Scolari. But now the things has changed under reign of Sarri.
- Chelsea was close to lose the game against Man Utd but late goal by Ross Barkley pulled out a 2:2 draw for Sarri’s side
- Maurizio Sarri joined Chelsea this summer, coming from Napoli
The stat is 9 unbeaten, you said win first nine. You may want to correct that :)
Fixed that! Thanks :)
