London: Chelsea manager Antonio Conte praised his team's refusal to bend to the pressure of the title race after their 3-1 win at Bournemouth on Saturday. Conte's side went 2-0 up after 18 minutes through an Adam Smith own-goal and an Eden Hazard strike before conceding a goal to Bournemouth's Joshua King. But Marcos Alonso made the game safe with a free-kick. Conte, however, would not accept that the win had guaranteed the title for Chelsea.

"I don't smell victory yet because there are seven games to go, we have a schedule that's not easy and we know this. It's important to go game by game and stay concentrated. Tottenham have a great desire to win the title and we must have the same. Don't forget that last season they played for the title" Conte said.
