John Terry says it's too soon to start Chelsea's title celebrations, despite beating rivals Manchester United 1-0 on Saturday.

Jose Mourinho's side moved 10 points clear at the top of the table thanks to Eden Hazard's goal and if they win their next two matches they will be crowned champions with four games to go.

But when asked on Saturday Night Football if the title was already in the bag, the Chelsea skipper insisted there was still work to do.

"No, I don't think so," Terry told Sky Sports. "It was a massive win. We needed to win. It was a really tough game but we got the three points.

"They had the better possession. We have not been playing as well as we can of late and we did that today.
