Maurizio Sarri’s Chelsea were comprehensively beaten in his first visit to Arsenal as manager of the club, losing 2-0 at the Emirates on Saturday evening.
In a carefully-worded post-match interview, Sarri claimed the players are “extremely difficult to motivate”.
The new Premier League side’s latest coach, now halfway through his first season, watched his team muster up just one shot on target in the full 90 minutes.
Generally making light of his reputation as a smoker, these were the best jokes as Maurizio Sarri’s Chelsea lose 2-0 at Arsenal:

Chelsea under Sarri are just like my nan. Toothless and stinking of cigarettes.

It looks like the only gold Sarri will hold in his hands is Marlboro gold.

Getting Sarri sacked might be Jorginho's first assist in the EPL

Conte & Mourinho, two highly successful managers with multiple honours got done by these players. I don’t think Sarri & his pack of Berkeley Menthol stand much chance tbh.
