Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri makes Premier League history with Everton stalemate

The Italian extended his unbeaten start in English football to a record 12 games

Maurizio Sarri's unbeaten start to life in English football is now the longest in Premier League history.

The Chelsea manager stretched his remarkable run to 12 league games with a frustrating 0-0 draw at home to Everton on Sunday.

He overtakes Frank Clark, who was unbeaten in 11 Premier League games with Nottingham Forest from August to October 1994.

However, Sarri  must have wondered how his side missed out on a ninth league win as Jordan Pickford denied Marcos Alonso, Alvaro Morata and Eden Hazard in the goalless draw.

The Blues subsequently missed the opportunity to go top of the Premier League ahead of the Manchester derby at the Etihad.

Another record was upheld at Stamford Bridge as the Toffees failed to win away at Chelsea for the 29th game in a row - a run which stretches back to 1994.

Everton have now won just one of their last 17 Premier League games in London.
