Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti has expressed his delight at beating Manchester United 1-0 following this afternoon's tight and tense encounter at Stamford Bridge in the Premier League.
The Blues grabbed a vital win at the top of the table following John Terry's headed goal in the second half which gives the west London side a five point cushion ahead of United in the league.
Former Milan coach Ancelotti told Sky Sports that he was pleased with the win against what has proved the Blues' "best opponent" thus far this season.
"I think it was a difficult match for both teams," he said.
"There was no space in midfield, it was difficult to create an opportunity to score.
"It was a match with very good balance, a strong match and we did what we had to do.
"We beat a very good team, our best opponent."
Chelsea now head into next week's international break with a healthy lead at the summit of the Premier League, although Ancelotti was quick to insist that he knows there is still a very long way to go in the title race.
"We are now five points clear but we know very well that the season is long," he added.
"We have to maintain this atmosphere and we hope to maintain this gap."
