Jose Mourinho praises Red Devils' 'special performance' against Chelsea

"Normally you win the title if you are 22 matches unbeatable and we are struggling to finish top four".

Mourinho, though, praised the performance of 19-year-old forward Rashford and his team-mates for a dominant Old Trafford showing.

"We didn't play a good game and United deserved to win the game", said Conte.

Rashford is the third or fourth player with more minutes on the pitch and when everyone tries to guess the young player who has minutes with me, he is third or fouth.

Herrera was the recipient of a controversial red card during the first half of last month's Emirates FA Cup quarter-final defeat at Stamford Bridge and the midfielder spoke of his frustration in an exclusive interview with the official matchday programme, United Review, ahead of kick-off at the weekend. How did they allow results like that to happen, given what they are truly capable of, and that which we saw today.

'We need more quality but in terms of character and the human side I have one of the best groups ever, ' said Mourinho. They showed more desire, more ambition, more motivation to win.

But Tottenham have a momentum that Chelsea have lost having won their last 12 home games and their manager Mauricio Pochettino certainly isn't worrying about a lack of motivation and desire.

Nikki Haley said that peace in Syria can not be restored unless its President Bashar al-Assad is removed from power. Mr Tillerson is expected in Moscow for talks with Russian officials next week.

"If we win our games it doesn't matter what Tottenham do".

"For us it is a fantastic target". For me if we were able to reach this target it would be a miracle. We have to react in the right way.

But after being forced to accept a wider role at times this season due to Ibrahimovic's strong form, Darmian says that Rashford's display against Chelsea highlighted his potential to become one of the world's best. "We must have the same".

The visitors were left frustrated by the first goal, though, with Chelsea claiming Herrera had handled in the build-up.

"If you don't have the intention to touch the ball and your hands are in a natural position it is not a handball".

Ander Herrera - detailed to do a brilliant man-marking job on Eden Hazard - saw his shot deflected in off Kurt Zouma four minutes after the break.

However, the remaining fixtures rest slightly in favor of the blues as Tottenham will face the likes of Arsenal, Manchester United, Crystal Palace, and Leicester City.

Herrera said of the team's performance: "It was nearly flawless". We beat them convincingly. "I am very happy". "Otherwise we must clap another team".
