Jose: almost a perfect display

JOSE Mourinho’s public celebrations were muted as he disappeared quietly down the tunnel just as the referee blew for full-time, but he admitted he did allow himself to enjoy the result behind closed doors.

He said: “I celebrated a lot in the dressing room when the game was over. It was a big victory for my team. As I have said before, I am a professional, I love Chelsea, I love this stadium, I love these people but I am a professional.

“Who knows, in the future I may coach another English team and I will come here (again) as an opponent.”
