Gianluigi Buffon is unsurprised by Chelsea's form under Antonio Conte because the former Juventus manager 'doesn't do second place'.
Juventus legend Buffon won three consecutive Serie A titles under Conte from 2011 to 2014, before the 47-year-old left Turin to manage Italy.
After a mixed start, Conte has made his mark on Chelsea, guiding the Blues to the top of the Premier League after eight straight victories, including wins against title rivals Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City in their last two matches.
The Old Lady had been without a scudetto since 2006 before Conte's appointment and goalkeeper Buffon has been impressed by his impact at Stamford Bridge.
