Sarri makes Chelsea history in Premier League with Burnley win

Maurizio Sarri has become the first Chelsea manager to go unbeaten in his first 10 Premier League games after the Blues thumped Burnley 4-0 on Sunday.

Goals from Alvaro Morata, Ross Barkley, Willian and Ruben Loftus-Cheek moved the Blues to within two points of leaders Liverpool, and earned Sarri a slice of history.

No Blues manager had ever avoided defeat for their first 10 Premier League games, with the former Napoli boss the first to do so.
