MAURIZIO SARRI did NOT shake Pep Guardiola’s hand after Chelsea were thumped 6-0 by Manchester City amid fears he could be sacked in the wake of the mauling at the Etihad.
Sarri is under immense pressure after his side were beaten 6-0 by the reigning Premier League champions.
Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri STORMS off, REFUSES to shake Pep Guardiola’s hand
It is the first time Chelsea have conceded four goals in back-to-back away games in the Premier League after the 4-0 defeat to Bournemouth.
Sergio Aguero bagged a hat-trick as Guardiola’s City side dominated against Chelsea.
And Sarri did not hang around to congratulate the Spaniard, walking straight down the tunnel at the final whistle as question marks surrounding his future got bigger.
That left Chelsea assistant Gianfranco Zola to shake Guardiola’s hand with the City boss looking bemused.
Chelsea were never in the game at the Etihad, going 4-0 down inside the first 24 minutes.
Raheem Sterling got on the scoresheet twice amid Aguero’s hat-trick, with Ilkay Gundogan bagging the other.
The win puts Manchester City back to the top of the Premier League, level on points with Liverpool who have a game on hand.
