Sarri dubs Liverpool draw best match this season for Chelsea

Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri says that his favorite game of the season is one that his side did not even win.

The Blues have enjoyed an impressive start to the season, including an 18-game unbeaten run.

And when the Italian boss was asked about his favorite game of the season so far, he had some interesting thoughts.

Sarri told Chelsea's official website : "I am enjoying working in England as much as I hoped I would because this championship is very competitive and the atmosphere in the stadiums is great.

"So, I am very happy to be in the Premier League. Really very happy.

"Even when a game is close I can enjoy it. I can enjoy if the match is a good match.

"For example, we did not win against Liverpool but I enjoyed the match. It was a very high level, so at the end of the match I was happy with the performance.

"I think that one was the best match so far.

"I think from the tactical point of view, our best performance was at Burnley. But the match was different. I had more fun against Liverpool. Without winning!"
