Mourinho content as Blues cruise to win

Chelsea 3 Sporting Lisbon 1

The Blues had already qualified for the last 16 as group winners, with Sporting hoping to join them ahead of Schalke, managed by Chelsea’s European Cup-winning manager Roberto di Matteo.

A Cesc Fabregas penalty and goals from Andre Schurrle and John Obi Mikel — his fifth goal in more than 300 Blues appearances — meant Sporting had to rely on Maribor avoiding defeat against Schalke.
