Chelsea head coach Maurizio Sarri has equalled a Premier League record after going unbeaten in his first 11 top-flight matches in charge of the club.
Alvaro Morata scored twice with fellow Spaniard Pedro also on target as Chelsea beat Crystal Palace 3-1 at Stamford Bridge on Sunday to move ahead of Liverpool on goal difference into second place.
The result maintained Sarri’s impressive start to life in west London since moving from Napoli to succeed fellow Italian Antonio Conte in July.
The 59-year-old is now unbeaten in his first 11 Premier League games as Chelsea head coach – equalling the record set by Nottingham Forest boss Frank Clark between August and October 1994.
Chelsea will now turn their attentions to the Europa League and a trip to Belarus to play BATE Borisov on Thursday.
Sarri’s side hold a six-point lead in Group L after winning all three of their matches so far and can secure their place in the knock-out stages with a fourth victory on Thursday.
