Not allowed in the country? Did I miss something?

If nothing was expected of him then why not keep Sarri. At least we won something. Manager of Chelsea is always a poison chalice.

Bit surprised this happened in England. I can see Serie A or La Liga or some Eastern European league.

I was surprised Arsenal got a win. Not surprised Raheem Sterling scored a hat trick on hapless West Ham.
