Chelsea boss Mourinho: Celebrations were about Man Utd not title

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho was delighted with his players after their 1-0 win over Manchester United. Mourinho's side moved 10 points clear at the top of the table after Eden Hazard's goal was enough to beat Manchester United.

"The celebrations were because we beat one of the biggest teams in the world," said the Blues boss.

"I understand that. The players gave everything to win the game and they felt the result of the work they'd done all week to prepare.

"The team were fantastic. I'm the one that knows how fantastic they were because the game was exactly what we wanted. When you manage to play the game you want to play, it's fantastic. The players were magnificent, on top of that Eden had that magic the top players have, especially in big matches.

"Obviously he was fundamental for us but Cahill made an amazing block on Falcao, John Terry was amazing, the keeper was there for us all the time, Azpilicueta was for me the best player on the pitch and Ivanovic was fantastic."
