Manchester United managed to beat the Blues 2-1 at Old Trafford. A goal from Javier Hernandez after just 36 seconds and header from Nemanja Vidic in the 23rd minute secured the win for United.
“It’s fantastic to be the most successful team in the country,” he told Sky Sports.
“The minute we won that first title in 1992 the door opened, and we’ve been involved in the first two all throughout that period – it’s a fantastic achievement.
“For the last 17 or 18 years it’s been Arsenal and Chelsea as our nearest challengers, and the last few years it’s been Chelsea. Arsenal made a great attempt this year, but them losing today has finalised it.
“We deserve the title and hopefully we’ll get that point now.”
“We could’ve scored six in the second half, but we expected a tough game and we got a tough game,” he added.
“We were brilliant – we got a great start, but Cech made some fantastic saves.
“When we gave the ball away for their goal, we were a bit nervy but the fans helped us.
“We kept making chances and (Wayne) Rooney could’ve scored six today.”
