Chelsea boss Mourinho praises Mata after Steaua win

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho was delighted with Juan Mata's performance in their win at Steaua Bucharest.

The Spain playmaker has been a peripheral figure so far this term due to Mourinho's desire for him to track back more.

"He played very good with the ball, as he always does," Mourinho said.

"And he played very good without the ball, as he never did."
