no smell of the Premier League title just yet,
despite his team's win over Bournemouth.
Eden Hazard and Marcos Alonso scored after Adam
Smith's own goal as Conte's side secured a 3-1
victory on Saturday.
While they maintained their seven-point lead over
Tottenham atop the table with seven games to go,
the Italian said there was still work to do.
"I don't smell the victory, because there are seven
games to go," Conte said.
"We don't have an easy schedule, we know this.
It's important to go game by game.
"In this case, after the defeat against Crystal
Palace which we didn't deserve, we played
[Manchester] City when we could have dropped
points, and today we could have dropped points,
but instead we won both games.
"We have to continue in this way to play game by
game and be focused and concentrated, because
for sure Tottenham have a great desire to win the
title," Conte added. "We must have the same
desire.
"Don't forget last season Tottenham fought for the
title until the end which means they are a really
good team. Last season Chelsea played for 10th
place. Now we are on top of the table.
"Tottenham reinforced the team this season with
two or three good players, and I think they are
stronger than last season. It's important to
understand this to compare the teams in the right
way."
