Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho has conceded that it is almost "impossible" for his side to win the Premier League title this season.
The Blues have endured a torrid start to the campaign, but did manage to end a run of three-straight defeats in the top flight by beating Norwich City 1-0 at Stamford Bridge.
Diego Costa's second-half strike was enough to end Chelsea's losing run, and Mourinho has now set his sights on climbing the table to challenge for a spot in the top four.
He told Sky Sports News: "It's a bit of a relief. The pressure was there - I was feeling, the players were feeling too. We coped well with that and we got a result which obviously we needed very, very much.
"Fourth position for me is not an impossible mission. If you ask me the title I would say impossible mission. Maybe Tom Cruise can do it [but] it's complicated because you have to recover points from four candidates.
"But to grab one of the [teams] that go up and will also have a little bit of a collapse... the fourth position is a difficult position but a possible target."
Chelsea moved above Norwich into 15th place in the table as a result of their win.
