'The players are with him' - Luiz offers Sarri support after Kepa 'misunderstanding'

David Luiz insists the Chelsea players support Maurizio Sarri and revealed he was heartbroken at his own penalty miss against Manchester City as he wanted to win the Carabao Cup for his under-fire manager.

Jorginho and Luiz both missed penalties that saw Pep Guardiola's side win 4-3 in the shootout after the Blues put in an impressive performance for 120 minutes at Wembley.

Under Antonio Conte last season, Luiz was dropped and did not kick a ball between February and the end of the season, but Sarri has revitalised the 31-year-old's career.
