Chelsea had to overcome a resilient Huddersfield side at the John Smith Stadium today, as Maurizio Sarri’s side won the game 3-0.

Although Chelsea won the game with a convincing scoreline, it was a difficult battle against David Wagner’s side.

Maurizio Sarri admitted after the game that Wagner’s team made his side suffer in the first half but his team played better in the second period.

He said: “I am very happy because in the first part of the season for us it will not be easy to gain points.

“The first half was hard. If you look at the result you can think of an easy game.

“But we were in trouble for 15 minutes against a physical team… we are not a physical team.

“The best capacity was to suffer, but then I think the second half maybe they were tired and it was more comfortable.”
