Jose Mourinho has sensationally claimed that Chelsea's victory over Manchester United was not that difficult
The Special One's side took a giant step closer to winning the Premier League title with a 1-0 victory over the Red Devils at Stamford Bridge earlier today.
The Blues were under the cosh for the majority of the contest and only had 29-per-cent possession of the ball.
Speaking after the victory, Mourinho broke down his side's triumph over Louis van Gaal's men and claimed the win over the Red Devils was not that difficult.
"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 Fellaini and control the wingers from making crosses on the inside foot. When we know 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."
John Terry has admitted that Chelsea's victory over Manchester United was a big one.
"It was a massive win and we are delighted with that ahead of Arsenal next week. They dictated the game better than we did," Terry said.
We have not been playing as well as we can of late but we have been grinding out results and we did that again.
"We were delighted to see Wayne Rooney in midfield. A phenomenal player and such a threat in that role behind the striker.
"We have dipped a bit but we are still picking up results and that is a sign of champions. It has been four years since we won the league and we are very determined. Still not done yet."
