Chelsea's draw against Everton in Sunday's Premier League game saw head coach Maurizio Sarri set a new record in the competition. The Blues, despite consistently trying, were denied the opportunity to score in their own backyard by the Toffees for the first time this season.
By doing so, the London club extended its unbeaten run of matches this season to 12. This, as a result, ensured that Maurizio Sarri became the manager in the history of the English Premier League with the best unbeaten run from the start of a season.
The 59-year-old Italian overtakes Frank Clark, 11-game unbeaten Premier League game streak with Nottingham Forest from August to October 1994. Sarri, who joined Chelsea from Napoli at the start of the season, has so far supervised eight wins and four draws for the Blues in the new league campaign.
Momentarily, his side trails table-toppers Manchester City and Liverpool by two points. Relatively, another record was safeguarded amid the 0-0 draw on Sunday. For the 29th game running, Everton has failed to secure victory away at Chelsea.
The winless run stretches as far back as 1994. So far, the Toffees have now won just one match in their last 17 Premier League outings in London.
