Jose Mourinho has said Chelsea “came to kill” today against Arsenal, with an intense opening 10 minutes laying the foundation for a thorough win.
“We had 10 amazing minutes and with that you can win the game and show everybody that you won't give a chance to any opponent,” Mourinho told reporters after the game.
"I was so happy with the approach, we came to kill and in 10 minutes we destroyed them.
"After that first 10 minutes, the job was easy. We pressed them high and well and attacked the space very quickly.”
The win was Chelsea’s largest ever over Arsenal, and serves as a strong message to the other sides in the title race.
"We got the result with some numbers which are special for our fans, which makes it even more beautiful,” Mourinho said.
"Last Saturday (in the defeat at Aston Villa) the momentum was broken, and now we are trying to build more momentum.
"Man City have everything in their hands, Liverpool have everything in their hands.
"Nobody plays Champions League from the top four, they have just the Premier League matches to play and we have at least two big Champions League matches to play in between."
