Antonio Conte believes Chelsea are showing the character of champions as they made it lucky 13 against Stoke.
Having twice taken the lead, the Blues were pegged back by plucky Stoke before Willian and Diego Costa eventually secured a 13th straight win for the league leaders.
The victory moves Chelsea a step closer to Arsenal's Premier League record of 14 consecutive wins, established in 2002.
And Conte says his team deserve all the plaudits they get after responding twice to gutsy Stoke.
