Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho says he 'loves it' when his team win after a defensive performance like the one seen at Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea managed to win 1-0 against rivals Manchester United after a game which saw the visitors have more than 70 per cent possession and create the better chances.

But the Blues were still able to take all three points thanks to Eden Hazard's first-half strike, Chelsea's only real chance at goal.

"I love it," he said, when asked if he likes winning tactical matches.

"It (United's possession) could be 99 per cent, that's no problem, it's about the points.

"We were very well prepared for them, we had a big heart, we fight and we were very focused on what we want.

"We need our points. Today we wanted three points and our opponent lost three points, but we are focused on us.

"The game was the game we wanted. The only thing we couldn't do was kill the game by scoring a second goal. We know they make the pitch big, they pass the ball very well."
