Chelsea Manager, Maurizio Sarri has conceded the title to Liverpool stating that his Chelsea team will be unable to catch them in the race to the Premiership title.
This came after the London side lost their 3rd game in 4 matches against Leicester City thanks to a goal from Jamie Vardy
This leaves Sarri’s men 11 points behind the league leaders who might be on course to win the Premier League for the first time in well over a decade.
“It was impossible from the beginning of the season,” said Sarri

“As I said at the beginning of the Premier League it is impossible to catch Liverpool and Manchester City, we have to be careful to stay close to the first four positions.”
Chelsea are even in danger of dropping out of the top for as they stay ahead of Arsenal on only goal difference. The manager also revealed his worry as regards Chelsea’s inability to beat the smaller teams in the division
“Yes it concerns me, we have to understand the reason for it.
“You can go 1-0 down, the important thing is how you are able to react. There was the time to score two goals today.”
The Chelsea manager rued the goal from Vardy which he said changed the game
“The match changed after the goal,” said Sarri.
“We played well for 55 minutes, after the goal the reaction was not the right reaction. We reacted a little shocked and with mental confusion.
“We had to only keep playing like we did before the goal, there was time to recover.
“I think that of course in some situations we were unlucky but I think that we could have done something better.”
