LONDON — Maurizio Sarri believes Chelsea is a year behind its Premier League rivals in the hunt for the title. A 0-0 draw at West Ham on Sunday meant Chelsea dropped its first points of the season after five straight wins. And Sarri, who saw Chelsea create little at the London Stadium, said his team is not on the same level as the other front-runners. “We need to move the ball quicker I think,” said Sarri, who took over as manager in the off-season after Antonio Conte’s departure. You must score — you don’t deserve to score, you must score.”The draw earned 17th-place West Ham its first home point of the season.
