Chelsea boss Mourinho impressed by West Brom grit

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho praised West Bromwich Albion after yesterday's victory.

Goals from Diego Costa and Eden Hazard earned the points for the Blues.

"It could have [been a thrashing], there's no doubt about that because this was a hard enough place to come with 11 players," Mourinho said.

"Jose said immediately after the game that it was a magnificent performance by 10 players and I have to agree with him in terms of the defensive side.

"Obviously from an attacking point of view we would have wanted a lot more, but it was a tough task already made even tougher."
