Sarri allegedly called 'sh*t Italian' by member of Burnley backroom team as Chelsea consider action

The Clarets may find themselves in trouble with the Football Association as the Blues manager was "offended" by them during the 2-2 draw

Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri was allegedly called a "sh*t Italian" by a member of Burnley's backroom team, with Gianfranco Zola suggesting that the club are considering reporting their Premier League rivals to the FA.

Monday night's game finished 2-2 as the Blues missed out on the chance to move up to third in the table, with a fiery encounter seeing multiple clashes between both sets of players.

Sarri was sent off after leaving his technical area and walking down the touchline towards the end of the game, seemingly attempting to talk to his players after one particular on-pitch scuffle.
