Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho praised his side for continuing to focus on the job at hand.

The Blues drew 1-1 with Liverpool at Stamford Bridge on Sunday, just a week after claiming the Premier League title, and Mourinho felt it was a decent display considering the situation his players find themselves in.

"I think it was a good performance if you understand the circumstances," he said.

"It's normal that you lose a little bit of your intensity in your mental approach. But we worked hard to have the players at a positive level, and it worked. We were competing for a result.

"In the first half we were really good and I think we deserved to be in front. Then in the second half we physically went a bit down, especially because some of them are not playing a lot - [John Obi] Mikel, Ruben [Loftus-Cheek], Filipe [Luis] - and some are playing too much.

"It was important for us not to lose. It was important to show Liverpool, Man Utd and to every team in the Premier League that we are champions and we have this dignity of trying to get a result."

Chelsea captain John Terry headed home Cesc Fabregas' corner on five minutes to notch his 39th Premier League goal of all time, passing David Unsworth on the league's defender scoring charts, before Reds skipper Steven Gerrard marked his final game at The Bridge by nodding Jordan Henderson's free-kick on the stroke of half-time.
