Mourinho now looks to take Chelsea to next level

Chelsea 3 Sunderland 1: John Terry lifted the Premier League trophy after a campaign when Chelsea led from the front almost from day one.

Yet as successful as their season has been, there was also a sense of renewal at Stamford Bridge yesterday as Didier Drogba said farewell and Jose Mourinho began the task of plotting his team’s defence of the title.

A first-half penalty from Diego Costa — after Steven Fletcher had put Sunderland ahead — followed by two second-half goals from Loic Remy ensured the season finished on a high.
