The Frenchman was not ready to tie blue ribbons to the Premier League trophy despite Antonio Conte's side extending their lead at the top of the table
Chelsea midfielder N'Golo Kante has rejected suggestions the Premier League title race is over despite playing his part in an authoritative 3-1 win over Arsenal.
Marcos Alonso, Eden Hazard and Cesc Fabregas were on target to stretch the advantage enjoyed by Antonio Conte's men over their third-place opponents to 12 points.
Victories for Tottenham and Liverpool this weekend would edge them fractionally closer to the division's dominant force.
Kante, a champion with Leicester City last season, was identified as Chelsea's key man before the match by Gunners boss Arsene Wenger and he did not disappoint as he and Nemanja Matic conclusively won the midfield battle.
