Chelsea’s 3-0 win over Bournemouth on Boxing Day, was their 12th consecutive victory in the Premier League.
It is the first time in their history, they have achieved the feat.
Pedro scored twice, while Eden Hazard also got on the scoresheet, as the table toppers eased to victory at Stamford Bridge.
Antonio Conte’s men have not lost or drawn any league fixture, since they were hammered 3-0 by Arsenal on September 24.
“We played a good game, we could have scored more, but I am happy with the attitude of the players. We played without two important players [Diego Costa and N’Golo Kante, who were suspended] but I think we played very well,” Conte told BBC Sport.
“This is the first time we played without a real forward, we tried this in training and I think for us at the moment this situation is the best, but I don’t forget Michy [Batshuayi] because he is a young player with great talent. He is adapting to this league and it is football, in the future I trust in him.
“To win 12 games in a row is not easy in this league. It’s a fantastic run but it’s important to continue that now. In four days we have another tough game and we have to prepare very well. Because now, every team wants to beat you.”
