Chelsea's 1-0 win over Manchester United on Saturday moved them to 10 points clear at the top of the Premier League table.

Jose Mourinho told the BBC: "Six games to play, three at home three away. Every game is difficult, every team needs points. But our situation is very good.

"It was difficult but less than you think. We prepared for the game to be like this. It was the game we wanted and expected. Control their direct football to [Marouane] Fellaini and control the wingers from making crosses on the inside foot.

"When we know [Wayne] Rooney plays in midfield we control his progression into the box. Control set-pieces and don't give away direct free-kicks as they have three specialists. Wait for a mistake and score a goal.

"It was what we wanted it to be. We are happy because the work we did in the week was what happened here.

"I feel we are almost there but there are no almosts in football. We need eight points to be champions. It is pure mathematics."
