Should Chelsea seal the Premier League title on Friday night, the team will be able to take their foot off the gas somewhat when they host Watford and then already-relegated Sunderland at Stamford Bridge next week.
"Now, we have taken another step to the title". It was a big win at this stage of the season.
"We haven't had enough wins and that's the key to the whole thing".
Conte has reinvigorated Chelsea following his arrival after last season's tenth-placed finish.
After losing to goals from Diego Costa, Marcos Alonso and Nemanja Matic, Agnew explained: "Everybody's devastated".
"It wasn't easy, but we did this. The most important thing for me and the players is to write history in the club when you work".
Matic scored the third goal in the match, and this was also a special moment for him.
Defeat at Chelsea on Monday evening ensured Boro will return to the Sky Bet Championship next season after just a single campaign in the top flight, scant reward for a seven-year quest to rub shoulders with English football's aristocrats once again.
Following Tottenham's defeat to West Ham last week it became nearly impossible for them to catch the leaders.
Warming ties lead to US-China trade deal
With just one more round of technical consultations between the US and China , American beef will once again be China-bound. Again, this sounds like a win but the USA has already won a WTO trade dispute against China on these payment systems.
Chelsea's fortune changed completely as they finished on the 10th position in the last season and this season they are on their way to the title.
Conte added: "Last season was very bad and this season, don't forget we started with a lot of problems". Find us on Facebook too! We need to gain more points.
"For sure now I'm a bit relaxed".
He reserved particular praise for Fabregas, who put on a man-of-the-match performance after starting in place of the injured N'Golo Kante.
It remains to be seen if Conte remains at Chelsea beyond the end of the season or heads back to Italy with Inter Milan, although he recently said that he wants to continue at Stamford Bridge for years to come. He he didn't play a lot at the start.
"Cesc is showing to be a fantastic player".
Manchester United, what's more, will have played a gargantuan 62 or 63 (dependent on if they reach the Europa League final) games in total.
A switch to Conte's favoured 3-4-3/5-2-3 formation after a defeat to Arsenal in September, which left Chelsea eighth in the table, proved pivotal.
