Chelsea manager Antonio Conte insists that he is "doing a great job" despite the club's shock 3-0 home defeat to Bournemouth.

Chelsea manager Antonio Conte has claimed that he is "very relaxed" about his own position following his side's surprise 3-0 home defeat to Bournemouth last night.

After a goalless first period, the Blues were left stunned in the space of 16 second-half minutes as Callum Wilson, Junior Stanislas and Nathan Ake all found the net for the Cherries - condemning Chelsea to their joint-worst defeat of the Conte era.

The result also saw the side drop to fourth in the Premier League table to further increase pressure on the Italian, who has faced speculation over his future with the club all season long.

"About the pressure, it's normal," he told reporters at his post-match press conference. "It's normal for a coach, for a manager. It's normal if you are Chelsea's coach. After the first game this season, you tried to put pressure on my job. But I'm trying to do my best.

"If someone doesn't think this club deserves this table [position] or deserve this situation. I repeat: we are doing everything, we are doing 120%.

"I'm exploiting this squad at the maximum level. But, if someone doesn't agree about this, I'm here. I have to accept every situation.

"I'm very relaxed about this. I know that I'm doing a great job, a great work, me and the staff and the players."

Next up for Chelsea is a trip to Watford in the league on Monday night.
