Jose Mourinho believes the margin of victory was not important following Chelsea's 1-0 victory over Sporting Lisbon on Tuesday.
Nemanja Matic scored the only goal of the UEFA Champions League encounter in the 34th minute as the Blues nailed Sporting by 1-0 in Portugal.
Despite Chelsea's inability to win clearly, Mourinho have insisted that the result was most important in the group stage, and not the goals.
"It's not a knockout where goals are fundamental, it's points, and these are three points," he said.
"I think the game was hard but correct. The referee controlled it so everything was OK."
Chelsea will host Arsenal in the Premier League this Sunday.
