Chelsea suffered a 1-0 defeat to rival Arsenal in the Community Shield as the Gunners we crowned champions.

Oxlade-Chamberlain's 24th minute strike made the difference.

The Blues manager Jose Mourinho insist that his side were better than their counterpart despite the loss.

Speaking to BT Sport, Mourinho said:
"We were the best team. We had more initiative, we controlled the game by having ball possession.

"But when a team is behind, the energy and intensity to turn results around is more difficult because people are not sharp.

"Arsenal defended with 10 players, they put everybody in front of their own line and they had good organisation -- congratulations to them.

"They had a couple of chances in counter attacks, but we had ours in organised football."

The 54-year-old Portuguese also admitted that winning the Premier League title again would be very difficult.

“I see the Premier League title as very difficult - for everyone,” Mourinho said.

"The way other teams are spending, they have big power in the hands while we are the same as last season. And with that we are going to try," he concluded.
