Luiz lauds the Sarri effect at Chelsea

LONDON - David Luiz is relishing the enjoyment of playing under new Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri and believes the positive atmosphere at Stamford Bridge has contributed to the London club's unbeaten start to the Premier League season.

The Blues' opening seven league games have yielded five wins and two draws, with only a late goal from Daniel Sturridge denying them a victory in a 1-1 share of the spoils at home to Liverpool on Saturday that also preserved the visitor's unbeaten league record this term.

"Sarri is giving us a lot of happiness to play football. We are trying to enjoy," Luiz told Chelsea TV.
