Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri: I wanted to change all eleven players

Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri admits he wanted to substitute all his players during defeat to Leicester City.

Jamie Vardy scored the only goal of the game early in the second half, after the Blues had been on top during the opening 45 minutes. Sarri introduced both Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Olivier Giroud after the goal.

He said, "I wanted only to be more present, also physically in the other box, but apart from the subs the reaction wasn't in the right way. If the reaction is like this you can change 11 players, it's the same.

"If I knew I would have solved the problem before this match. It's difficult to understand because we have players with lots of experience."
