Sarri has endured a tempestuous relationship with Chelsea fans recently, not least last weekend when they called for him to be sacked during a match at Cardiff in which his side went 1-0 down before scraping a fortunate 2-1 victory. Firstly, Sarri recalled both Hazard and Kante, with the former scoring a wonderful goal in the second half. And thirdly he continued with another homegrown favourite, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, who provided a sumptuous goal to wrap up a very comfortable victory. At least Chelsea had a goal to celebrate just before half-time, however, having made rather hard work of it up to that point. Chelsea:Arrizabalaga; Emerson, Luiz, Christensen, Azpilicueta (Zappacosta 73); Loftus-Cheek (Kovacic 82), Jorginho, Kante; Hazard (Willian 84), Giroud, Hudson-Odoi.
