Who's not going to be happy when his side wins or who will not be delighted to see his side win by at least three goals let alone four. Again, who would not like to be in Chelsea's position at this point in time, may be you should ask a team at the steering last season.

For Chelsea, beating a team like Tottenham Hotspur at this point in the season is good but actually best and pivotal to their title quest as they currently sit atop the English Premier League, gone seven points clear but should be noted that if Manchester City go ahead to win their remaining matches in the season (12), they will be crowned champions of the League.
Meanwhile, Chelsea Manager, Jose Mourinho had earlier refused to be tagged the title favourites but with recent occurrences, it is obvious that the Blues have gone past the chase for top four finish and according to the Portuguese, the objective No 2 is to go for the top three which guarantees an automatic champions league spot.
He told Sky Sports: "Clearly it is very, very difficult to not get a top-four position. They (Spurs) were the biggest threats to the top four.
"If we lose seven points now with nine matches to go... a lot can
happen, but 13 points with nine matches is almost impossible for us to
lose that, so from now our objective in the Premier League is in our
pocket.
Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester City are now the closest horses racing to make the UCL spot but such margin is enough to increase the pressure. Mourinho feels the lead is ''not realistic'' but it is clear that the ''Happy One'' is in a way satisfied with the way things are turning out right now even though he covets City's position not with the smiles on his face at the post match interview after trashing a fellow Londoner.
