Mourinho looks to resume normal service

It was far from a normal result, but Jose Mourinho claims he had the most normal of reactions. The last time Chelsea hosted Arsenal, back on March 22, they secured their biggest ever win over their London neighbours, with a 6-0 destruction.

It left Arsene Wenger unable to face the press, and brought intense discussion behind the scenes at their London Colney base. For Mourinho, it was rather different. He claims he didn’t even really celebrate, and scoffs at the idea he watched it on Match of the Day that night.

“I did what I normally do. I can switch off,” he said yesterday.
