Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri has called on his players to improve their consistency following their 5-0 win over Huddersfield Town in the Premier League on Saturday.
The Blues were hammered 4-0 at Bournemouth on Wednesday, turning in their worst performance since Sarri took over as manager in the summer. They were much improved on Saturday, as braces from Eden Hazard and new signing Gonzalo Higuain saw them breeze past the division's bottom club.
When asked about his team's display at Stamford Bridge, Sarri said the players shouldn't require a heavy loss like the one at Bournemouth to spark them into life, per Liam Twomey of ESPN FC:
"We need to understand that, in the future, we should not have to lose a game to add motivation.
