Chelsea responded well to the 6-0 defeat to Manchester City last weekend by winning away to Malmo to take control of the tie ahead of the second leg. Ross Barkley and Olivier Giroud scored in each half but a late goal by Anders Christiansen, 10 minutes from time put Malmo back into contention for a place in the last 16 of the tournament. The win marked the first away victory for Chelsea this year.
Speaking in a post-match press conference, Sarri noted that his side needs to play better if they are to overcome United, “If we concede a goal like this to a team like Manchester City or United or Tottenham, then you risk conceding three goals in 10 minutes. So we have to do better, I think. But I think that the performance was a good performance.”
