Chelsea coach Maurizio Sarri defended his decision to leave Eden Hazard on the bench and said his team
“deserved a trophy” after they were held to a 1-1 draw at Eintracht Frankfurt in the first leg of their Europa League semi-final on Thursday.
“Three months ago, we were in trouble. Now we are in the top four and in the semi-final, so I think we deserve to win a trophy.” Frankfurt then tried to grab control of the tie, with Sebastian Rode snapping at Chelsea’s heels in midfield and Jovic and Mijat Gacinovic lurking in wait for a chance to break.
It remained a fiercely contested game after the break, and Chelsea midfielder Jorginho had to be bandaged up after a clash of heads with Rode.
