Chelsea boss Mourinho: Wonder goal not impossible for talented Oscar

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho hailed Oscar's performance after their 2-1 win over QPR.

Chelsea scored a sublime opener through Oscar. It was brilliant, as, from Cesc Fabregas' pass, he hit a first-time shot with the outside of his right boot into the far corner.

"The goal is not impossible in a very talented boy," Mourinho said.

"For 90 minutes I think he was our best player. Not for the goal, but for the dynamic, for the intensity, for the transitions. He was always sharp.

"He was fantastic. He played Sunday (at Manchester United), he played Tuesday (at Shrewsbury), he played today.

"Some other guys didn't play midweek, so I would expect other people to be sharper than Oscar, but in the end Oscar, for me, was our best player."
