Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho hopes their rout of Arsenal silences the critics. Mou feels the manner of Saturday's win should go a long way to answering critics of his side's style, which some have seen as very defensively minded.

"I don't understand where it comes from," Mourinho added. "If you say that my teams have a lot of clean-sheets, I say yes. But to have a lot of clean sheets doesn't mean you are a defensive team.

"It means you defend well. My teams normally score goals. I have the record of goals in the Spanish League and Italian League.

"I have the record points tally in every league I was in. I had players winning Golden Boots and being top scorer in the country, even in Europe."
