Jose Mourinho insists his Chelsea side are fully deserved winners of the 2014/15 Barclays Premier League.

The Blues beat Crystal Palace 1-0 on Sunday to hold aloft the trophy in front of fans at Stamford Bridge after remaining 13 points clear of second-placed Manchester City.

In recent times, Mourinho's side has been criticised for playing a defensive and 'boring' brand of football but the Portuguese was not too bothered about those assessments after guiding the west London club to a fourth Premier League title and fifth overall in England's top flight.

"We do everything that the team needs," Mourinho said.

"That's why we deserve so much to be champions. And I think everybody knows that.

"And the ones that have a big face to say we don't deserve are the ones that in my country we say: the dogs bark and the caravan goes by.

"(It's) easy to be a pundit, because as a pundit you win every game. Fantastic job.

"Maybe in 10 years' time it's my job. And then I win every game.

"Now as a manager I lose sometimes and it's a much more difficult job.

"What the players are feeling now is fantastic. They deserve."

Eden Hazard scored the only goal of the contest in the 45th minute to take his league tally to 14 and Chelsea's winning record to 25 from 35 outings.
