Referring to Arsenal's 5-4 win over Spurs, Mourinho said: "Five-four is a hockey score, not a football score.

"In a three-against-three training match, if the score reaches 5-4 I send the players back to the dressing rooms as they are not defending properly.

"So to get a result like that in a game of 11 against 11 is disgraceful."

Mourinho saw his side beat west London neighbours Fulham 4-1 on Saturday to reclaim their Premiership lead over Arsenal.

He added: "I don't think it is being arrogant or vain. I think it is confidence, because I have belief in the players and that they can win."
