EPL: Chelsea urged to sack Sarri following 2-1 win at Cardiff City

BT Sport pundit, Chris Sutton, has told Chelsea to sack manager Maurizio Sarri, for resting Eden Hazard against Cardiff City on Sunday.Hazard and N’Golo Kante were both named on the bench for their 2-1 win in Wales.

Despite going behind shortly after half-time, the Blues earned all three points, after scoring two goals in the last six minutes of the match.

But Sutton says the Chelsea board “must be running out of patience” with Sarri.

“Maurizio Sarri got lucky in Cardiff. If it were not for the assistant referee, Chelsea would have been fortunate to escape with a point.

“Sarri may get lucky again and win the Europa League. Even if he does – securing Champions League football in the process – this abject performance only highlights why he cannot be the man to lead Chelsea next season.

“His decisions are becoming increasingly erratic.

“There are no easy games at this stage of a Premier League season, especially against a Cardiff side battling against relegation, so why leave out your best player?

“If Sarri wanted to rest Eden Hazard, would it not have been better to start him, win the game early on and then take him off with half an hour to go?

“The reaction of the Chelsea supporters who made the trip to South Wales shows they have lost faith in their manager.

“If they haven’t already, the board must be rapidly running out of patience, too,”

Eddie Howe blames defeat on Bournemouth players

Eddie Howe refused to blame anyone but his own players for their 5-1 hammering at Arsenal, saying "every aspect" let them down. Howe's men matched their worst away run in 85 years - nine straight league defeats - with a 5-1 thrashing at the Emirates on Wednesday night, having trailed from the fourth minute in north London. The timing of the opening goal, scored inside four minutes by Mesut Ozil, particularly irked Howe after he had called his side "exciting" pre-game, and he said: "They were too good for us, it was a difficult night. We never truly recovered from the start, and it was uncharacteristic. "I don't think we were good in any aspect of the game, with or without the ball, mentality wasn't great, it's been disappointing and we need to reflect on it honestly.
