Chelsea emphatically ended their Everton hoodoo on Saturday evening with a 3-1 win at Stamford Bridge, taking full advantage ofUnited's lunchtime draw at Liverpool and staying within three points of new leaders Manchester City.Next Sunday's Manchester derby will give Chelsea another chance to close the gap at the top, providing they win their own match at QPR.
Villas-Boas said: "It's important for us to get three points, particularly on a day where two title contenders played against each other.
"Man United got an important point at Anfield but at least it makes us recover some points and get closer to second position."
Today's win maintained Villas-Boas' 100 per cent home record since his summer appointment as Chelsea manager, the Portuguese making Stamford Bridge the fortress it was under former mentor Jose Mourinho.
"We have done nothing else than our responsibilities in winning the games that we have won at home," Villas-Boas said.
"We have not done anything special.
"We just have to continue to win until we find a position of comfort at the top of the Premier League, because that's what we want."
