Congratulations to Chelsea - And to Maurizio Sarri, Who Stuck it to the Critics of 'Sarriball'

From Baku - Just three months ago, swathes of the Chelsea fans sang it with vigour, disgust and impatience. 'F*ck Sarriball' - it was the response to losing 2-0 at home to Manchester United in the FA Cup.

He's had a rough first year in England, Maurizio Sarri. He wasn't brought to Chelsea because of a storied history of lifting trophies, like most who fell before him, but a style of play. An identity. His philosophy. We've spent most of his first year in London waiting to see what all that fuss from Napoli was about - and we may have had a glimpse of it in Baku on Wednesday night.
