Chelsea boss Andre Villas-Boas gave his players both barrels in the aftermath of their shock defeat to Arsenal. The Daily Mail says Villas-Boas accused his Chelsea flops of 'broken promises' in a furious training ground outburst on Sunday.

The Chelsea manager claimed his team had let him and the club down after they were beaten 5-3 at Stamford Bridge by Arsenal on Saturday.

The players arrived at their Cobham training centre on Sunday morning expecting their usual gentle, post-match warm down, but Villas-Boas put them through a tough workout after spending around 30 minutes in the changing rooms forcing home a number of points during a severe dressing down.

Villas-Boas is angry with the players for failing to carry out his tactical demands and not sticking to his game plan against the Gunners.

Even senior players sat in stunned silence during Villas-Boas' rant, delivered to them as a team rather than as individuals.

Sunday's dressing down was the first time the new Portuguese manager has been critical of Chelsea's players since he arrived at Stamford Bridge.
