Maurizio Sarri made his reputation at Napoli as a manager who believed in quick possessional football and preferred playing attacking football throughout the 90 minutes. The Italian got the fans excited as they could see the team transforming from a defensive to a much more forward-minded side.

Before this match, the Blues, along with Manchester City and Liverpool were twelve games unbeaten in the Premier League. However, recent performances worried the manager, who believed that his side wasn't playing the way he would want them to.
Against Spurs, Maurizio Sarri's side lacked purpose from the start and never really managed to trouble the opposition at any point in the game. The defeat finally ended Chelsea's unbeaten run in the Premier League and all competitions as well. The Italian would hope it was a bad day at the office and the team performs better in the upcoming games.

A sports enthusiast and an avid follower of football.
Since childhood I was encouraged to play cricket and in no time it became a hobby. Gradually I found interest in other sports also.
Football is in my blood and I love the electrifying ambiance that surrounds it. I often watch the pre and post match analysis of a match and try to learn how to analyze a football game.
The thing that intrigues me the most is that there are so many things happening behind the scenes that are oblivious to our naked eyes. The technological advancements that has been made are phenomenal.
I like analyzing a game from a statistical point of view. Being a data guy myself , I am firm believer of providing insights through facts and data. Though a game is always unpredictable , analyzing it from different dimensions can provide some very interesting conclusions.
