Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho couldn't resist having a dig at Arsenal Wenger following the insipid 0-0 draw with Arsenal.

The Blues now just need wins against Leicester City and Crystal Palace to secure their fourth Premier League title - and Mourinho's first since returning to West London.

"We want to win," the Portuguese told BBC Sport. "We tried to win. But the game was difficult, against a very good team and it was not possible to win.

"We had a game plan - in the first half we were very dangerous, in spite of Arsenal making lots of fouls to stop counter attacks.

"Second half we were less dangerous. But the team was very solid. We know we need five points (it's actually six Jose) to be champions.

"It is not for us to gamble at the end of the game. Arsenal took off Olivier Giroud near the end and maybe Arsenal are happy to be second and happy with a point."

Wenger, meanwhile, believes the Premier League trophy is now headed for Stamford Bridge.

"I believe that we played with the handbrake on at times. We were conscious of being hit on the counter attack and it was important not to lose. We were still on a strong run.

"Chelsea will be champions. We know that. It is impossible to lose it now."
