Chelsea boss Antonio Conte insists his side have psychological staying power to win Premier League after beating Southampton at Stamford Bridge

Antonio Conte believes Chelsea have the psychological staying power to win the Premier League after restoring their seven-point lead at the top of the table on Tuesday night.

Diego Costa ended his seven-game goal drought with a brace against Southampton to ensure the Blues took a major step towards the league title.

And Conte said: 'I think that we passed a big, big step. A big psychological step after the defeat against Manchester United. Because, against United, we lost three points and then you had to prepare a semi-final against Tottenham. And then another tough game in the league.
