Sarri’s Chelsea Outclass Huddersfield In Premier League Opener

Chelsea produced a dominant performance against Huddersfield to ensure new manager Maurizio Sarri started his reign on a winning note.

Sarri, who became the club’s 10th full-time manager in 10 years when he replaced the sacked Antonio Conte in the summer, saw his side take the lead with their first shot on target.

World Cup winner, Ngolo Kante scored the first goal in the 34th minute when his mis-hit strike from Willian’s cross bounced past Huddersfield goalkeeper Ben Hamer.

Jorginho, who followed Sarri from Napoli to Chelsea in the summer doubled the Blues’ lead when he converted a penalty after Christopher Schindler fouled Marcos Alonso.

Pedro sealed a comfortable win with a cool, chipped finish for Chelsea’s third after being played in by substitute Eden Hazard.

The Terriers best chance came before the second goal when they hit a post through Steve Mounie’s header.
