Antonio Conte has admitted Chelsea face a daunting challenge if they are to claw back the nine-point deficit to leaders Manchester City and successfully defend their Premier League title. A 1-0 victory at Bournemouth on Saturday ensured Conte's men didn't lose more ground to Pep Guardiola's side. Eden Hazard's 51st-minute goal settled the outcome of a game at Dean Court. But the Italian refused to look too far into the future. "At this moment we must be realistic by going game by game," said Conte.
