Sarri impressed with character of Chelsea side

When the former Napoli boss was asked if they had passed the character test he replied:

“I think so. To win here is difficult for Chelsea - it’s difficult for every team here.

“To be drawing five minutes from the end, for us it was more difficult. I think this team, from the character point of view, is a strong team.”

The 59-year-old also refused to get ahead of himself when asked how he felt being joint top of the table:

‘Nothing” he said

“I think, because the honour is after 38 matches, so after three… it’s important to start very well, as well as possible, but now the table is not important, I think.”
