AVB defiant that Chelsea will continue to entertain

Chelsea boss Andre Villas-Boas claims the 5-3 home defeat to London rivals Arsenal will not deflect him from playing attacking football. The Blues conceded five goals at home for the first time since 1989 and Villas-Boas will work to eradicate the defensive problems on show against the Gunners.

"The philosophy is a personal value and a club value," explained Villas-Boas. "You should never sell it cheaply.

"It is something that makes us all proud and we will stick to this philosophy throughout this league. It is our way of playing, we are proud of the way we play and we just have to correct things to get a positive result."

Villas-Boas also denied that captain Terry had been distracted by the FA investigation into claims that he racially abused Anton Ferdinand.

"No, it was not distracting," continued Villas-Boas. "I don't think so. For me there is an investigation. It is a misunderstanding, let them investigate."
