Mourinho convinced more to come from Chelsea hat-trick hero Schurrle

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho was pleased with Andre Schurrle's hat-trick performance in victory over Fulham. Mourinho admits the German is still learning about the Premier League.

"He is in a learning process in relation to the Premier League," Mourinho noted about the 23-year-old.

"He needs to understand it and experiment. The referees are good, they don't give many fouls and the defenders are aggressive in a good way. The teams are fighting teams and you need to defend even if you are an attacking player.

"It is difficult for him to play 90 minutes for us because he is doing things that he has never done in his life but what I expect from him is this - cold blood in front of the goal. He is not a guy for whom the goal becomes very small. He is the kind of guy who in front of goal is normally cool. He is a finisher. He sees the keeper's reaction and he can do it with the left and the right foot. I expect him to score some goals."
