Antonio Conte hailed the character of his Chelsea players after a 4-2 win over Stoke which saw the Blues claim a record-equalling 13th successive Premier League win.
Stoke twice drew level at Stamford Bridge, but Willian scored his second and Diego Costa Chelsea's fourth as Conte's men emulated Arsenal's 2001-02 feat of 13 straight wins in a single season.
"After the second goal it wasn't easy to go and have the good reaction, to show the great character, above all after 12 wins in a row," Conte said.
"When you win a lot there is a great danger to be satisfied, to be relaxed, to think 'okay, but we won a lot in the past, now if arrive the draw, if we don't lose, if we don't win it's not important'.
