Chelsea boss Conte calls himself an "animal" during games

Chelsea manager Antonio Conte has lead his club to dominate the Premier League all season.

With their grasp on the trophy tightened after the Blues 3-0 triumph over Everton on Sunday, Conte has admitted that in his first season in England, he hasn't been afraid to show his emotions.

"There are two Antonio's. Two different people," the 47 year old told BBC Sport.

"During the game, I know I am an animal.

"After the game, I must be relaxed when we win but I think it's very good to celebrate this win with the players, staff and fans. I live for this."

Four points separate Chelsea with closest rivals Tottenham, who are running high on momentum after notching their ninth Premier League win in a row following their 2-0 defeat of bitter rivals Arsenal on Sunday.
