Chelsea boss Sarri: Luiz no disaster today

Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri hailed the performance of David Luiz after their stunning defeat of Manchester City.

Goals either side of the break, from N'Golo Kante and Luiz, ensured it was the Blues who came out on top, ending City's unbeaten Premier League run in the process.

Sarri said of Luiz, "I have to say I was very happy with him from the beginning.

"Of course there are matches like this one in which it's easier to stay on the defensive line because the offensive movements are working very well, and there are matches when that's difficult, like Tottenham, because the defensive phase of the team is a disaster.

"Today he played a really good match."
