Jose Mourinho 'happy' as Chelsea beat Manchester United

Jose Mourinho says that Chelsea are "focussed" on winning the Premier League title after having Manchester United 'in their pockets' in their 1-0 win at Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has said that his side played exactly how he wanted them to in their 1-0 home win over Manchester United.

Eden Hazard's first-half strike was enough for the Blues to take the three points, and they are now just two wins away from winning the Premier League title.

Mourinho told BBC Sport: "We need our points but if they come against teams in second or in third it helps us. Today we won three points and our direct opponent lost three points. We are focussed on us, we have six matches to play and we need eight points.

"The game was exactly the game we want. The only thing we couldn't do was to kill the game with a second goal. We were able to make their important players disappear. Nobody saw them. They were in our pockets. Football is talent but strategy is also important."

Chelsea next face second-placed Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium.
