Despite some of the stylistic criticism his side has faced, Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho says his team's achievements require no recognition from outside observers.

The Portuguese coach was speaking after last night's 3-1 victory over Leicester which puts the Blues on the brink of Premier League glory for the first time in five years.

"I know what I feel in relation to the work that we did in the last two years and we know what these guys have been doing since pre-season. They won so I don't need other people to recognise what we are because I know exactly what we are. And I think in a very pragmatic way, I think we are what every team would like to be," he said.
