Winning a battle not as important as winning the war - Chelsea boss Conte

Chelsea manager Antonio Conte has refused to place too much emphasis on his side's 4-0 win over Manchester United on Sunday.

The Italian equated the win with winning a battle but pointed out that his focus is winning the overall war with the Blues.

"The most important victories in my career are when I won a title or a cup," Conte said.

"You can win a battle, I prefer to win the war.

"It's very difficult to talk about our position at the end of the season. We must continue to improve and then we'll see, but I'm pleased because I am seeing the work during the game."

Pedro, Gary Cahill, Eden Hazard and N'Golo Kante were on the target as Chelsea moved to fourth on the Premier League table.
