Arsenal 0-0 Chelsea: Jose Mourinho says not losing was important

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho says it was "especially important" for Chelsea not to lose to their title rivals than to take risks to win.

The former Real Madrid and Inter Milan boss thinks it is significant that his side are only two points off top spot after their 0-0 draw with Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium.

Liverpool top the Premier League at Christmas and Mourinho believes the title race is more interesting than ever.
