Jose Mourinho has said he is "not happy" with John Terry after the captain's "champions" remark following Chelsea's 1-0 victory over Manchester United on Saturday.

Eden Hazard's winner put Chelsea 10 points clear at the top of the table. A win over Arsenal next week and then one more after that will see them crowned champions.

Terry said after the game that the Blues showed the "mark of champions".

"We are still getting results and that's the mark of champions," he told Sky Sports after the victory.

"We'd rather get it done as soon as possible. It would be nice get it done soon, next two wins will be very nice."

It was then put to Mourinho in his post-match press conference that Terry had said Chelsea "felt like champions", to which Mourinho replied:

"No — and I’m not happy if John told that.

“We need eight more points to be champions. Football is about mathematics.

“When mathematically is done, we celebrate. Until that moment we need two wins and two draws.”
