Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri accused his players of disobeying his tactics by playing ‘long ball’ football against Manchester United.
Ross Barkley’s 95th minute equaliser kept Chelsea’s unbeaten start to the season alive but the game was somewhat overshadowed by unsavoury scenes on the touchline that were sparked by Sarri’s assistant, Marco Ianni. in the aftermath of the late goal.
Anthony Martial’s second half double had given United an unlikely lead at Stamford Bridge and Chelsea created little in the dying stages before Barkley’s goal. Sarri was, of course, relieved to find the equaliser but the Italian says he was far from pleased with side’s performance in the last half an hour and accused them of playing long ball football.
