Guus Hiddink was a much relieved m
an following his side's 5-1 mauling of Newcastle Untied at Stamford Bridge.
It was after all, his first home league win since taking over from sacked Jose Mourinho in December.
"We have been telling people we are unbeaten, but this was first home win since I arrived in December," he said
"We were unbeaten but we were not really proud of that.
"After the recovery from December to now, there have been too many draws. We wanted to have the status of unbeaten but with victories. That is why it was good to get the three points."
The Blues scored early through the right boot of Diego Costa and that is something Hiddink was counting on
"We tried to surprise them early on," he said. "Which we succeeded in. Within 20 minutes it was rather decisive."
Chelsea fly out on Monday to Paris to face PSG in the Champions League and then encounter Manchester City next Sunday in the FA Cup.
But the Dutchman is not happy at the lack of preparation time between matches.
"There are two big games coming up ," he said. "We will see what damage we have with the players. But to prepare within two days for a big game is not enough.
"We need to consider to get three days (between matches).
Slipper John Terry limped off in the first half and must be considered a doubt for PSG and possibly Manchester City.
"I can say that we will exam John Terry's injury," said Hiddink.
"It looks like a small muscular problem in his hamstring. There will be a scan and we will see."
But he is happy with Costa's form: "Costa knows where he is good at now and focusing more, he is choosing his moments now perfectly and the way he scored the first goal was typically him."
While the win was welcome, Hiddink and his players are not entirely happy.
"The only thing we are not happy with and that's a good sign is that we conceded a goal," he said.
"We were sloppy in losing possession but we did not defend well either. I was happy to see the players were not happy, that's a good signal."
