Brighton 1-2 Chelsea: Maurizio Sarri believes Blues should have won in more style at the Amex
Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri believes his side could have won more convincingly after a 2-1 success at Brighton on Sunday.First-half goals from Pedro and Hazard were enough to secure all three points for the Blues, who held off a valiant fightback from the hosts after the interval who found the net through Solly March.2

Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri believes his side should have won more convincingly against Brighton

And while Sarri was satisfied with his side’s performance on the whole, he felt they could have turned on the style more in the second half.He said: “I think that we could have won better. We played very well for 60 minutes.“We conceded a goal when we were in full control.“In my mind it was clear in that moment that we had to suffer in the box, we are not a physical team.“I tried with the substitutions to have more of a physical presence.”2

Eden Hazard starred for the Blues yet again and was their match winner at the Amex

Sarri later suggested his side may be complacent when they are ahead in games.He added: “When we have the feeling to be in control of the match it is dangerous for ourselves.“The first situation in our box in 30 minutes, I think we were a bit unlucky.“When we are sure to be in control of the match is there complacency? I dont know.” Sarri confirmed matchwinner Hazard, who has notched eight goals and nine assists in 17 league games, should be fit for next Saturday’s game against Leicester after limping off with a knock late on.He revealed: Eden is OK. Its only a knock. I spoke with the doctor and the doctor told me its not a big problem.He maybe needs one day to rest, two days maximum.
