Silverware: Zouma impressed during the Capital One Cup final
GETTY
Tom Dutton29 April 2015

Kurt Zouma has shrugged off suggestions Chelsea are boring to watch.

The Blues maintained their 10 point lead at the top with a 0-0 draw against Arsenal on Sunday and look set to land a first league crown since 2010, but Gunners fans chanted 'boring, boring Chelsea' before and after the game.

John Terry and Jose Mourinho have both since come out and rejected the suggestions but Zouma has admitted the Blues do prioritise winning points.

The 20-year-old, who has made 21 appearances in all competitions this season, said: "I don't like this kind of sentence but the supporters can say what they want as we have to be focused on our game."

How Chelsea's signings have fared this season

"The most important thing is that we keep going and keep winning points.

"I think we play the same but more defensively because we know that everybody wants to beat us and we are focused on only the points.

"There's a target for everybody, we are almost there. We have to win the two next matches. We are very determined - all season we've work very hard to win this league."
