Chelsea goalkeeper Asmir Begovic: Do I deserve winners' medal?

Chelsea goalkeeper Asmir Begovic admits he believes he doesn't deserve a Premier League winners' medal.

He made just his second appearance of the league season last night in the 4-3 win over Watford.

Premier League rules state players must have played at least five games to earn a medal.

But Chelsea successfully challenged the rule on Begovic's behalf and the Bosnian will pick up his medal on the final day of the season.

"I think the rule should be changed, I don't know about the whole five appearances," he told Sky Sports News.

“Having been part of the group all year, we've all sacrificed, played our part in the team each and every day.

"But they really have to look at that rule again because I don't think five appearances should warrant a medal.

“It's the rule for now, thankfully I get one and obviously to have that in your career is great."
