Premier League not Yet Won, Mourinho tells Chelsea

Eden Hazard's 18th goal of the campaign gave Chelsea the3 vital points, pushing the Blues 10 points clear of second-placed Arsenal who have 66 points.

Despite, the win, the Portuguese insists that Chelsea will not get ahead of them with a crucial league tie with Arsenal coming up in a week's time.

“I'm not happy when John (Terry) says that we need eight points to be champions. Football is not about if or almost but mathematics. When it’s done, mathematically, we celebrate but until then, there should be no celebration,” he said.

Mourinho added that he thinks there would have been uproar had one of his players dived as Manchester United's Ander Herrera did under challenge from Gary Cahill towards the end of the game.

“I am happy that it was not a Chelsea player because if it was a Chelsea player in this moment on it would be somebody's crimes. Because it's a Man United player tomorrow nobody will remember,” he stated.

Chelsea next meet Arsenal away at Emirates Stadium while Manchester United meet Everton away at Goodison Park. Both matches are slated for April 26, 2015.
