Crespo’s cracker spares Blues blushes

CHELSEA manager Jose Mourinho offered a consoling word to Wigan boss Paul Jewell before slating his own side for a performance he deemed not worthy of Premiership champions.

The Blues stole all three points with a sensational goal in the third minute of injury time from Hernan Crespo to break the hearts of top-flight new-boys Wigan at the JJB Stadium.

Jewell's side were on course for a deserved point at the start of their inaugural top-flight campaign, only for substitute Crespo to grab the glory.
