Chelsea 'destroyed' Arsenal, Man Utd in April - Mourinho

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho believes his side destroyed their opponents during the month of April.

The Blues are on the verge of taking out the Premier League title after beating Leicester City 3-1 on Wednesday night but it is the performances against title rivals Arsenal and Manchester United which pleased the Portuguese the most.

Chelsea have recently been described as 'boring' but Mourinho felt he could put that to bed after coming from behind to land a crucial win over the Foxes after impressive showings earlier in the month.

"Tonight was not boring for me," he said. "To be losing at half-time is not boring - it is pressure.

"The way we played in the second half, against probably the best team we have played in the last month, was fantastic.

"In April everyone expected us to drop points against Arsenal and Man Utd, but April was the month that we destroyed opponents.

"We won every game except the draw against Arsenal so I'm very pleased. Now we just need three more points."
