Chelsea test a bridge too far for troubled Jose Mourinho

Chelsea 4 Manchester United 0: There was something about the way Jose Mourinho stood on the touchline, two minutes from the end of this deeply embarrassing defeat, which summed up perhaps the most miserable ‘return’ in Premier League history.

To his left, Antonio Conte, having kicked every ball of the match, endlessly organising and cajoling his players, turned to the crowd and gestured for them to sing up in appreciation of the home side’s performance.

Mourinho, meanwhile, stood completely still, weight on his left leg, looking like a man who had only just missed a west London Tube; fairly annoyed by the inconvenience but safe in the knowledge that another will be along shortly.
