Chelsea Manager, Jose Mourinho said his team showed stuff of champions in their Premier League match on Wednesday night. Chelsea maintained their seven points gap over defending champions Manchester City courtesy of their victory over Everton at Stamford Bridge.
It was a spirited display by the visitors but a deflected strike by Willian in the 89th minute ensured the visitors returned to Merseyside empty handed.
The Chelsea Manager acknowledged the good display by Everton but praised his side for remaining resolute and showing that they are champions in the making.
It was a very difficult match. It was a different Everton side with a good defensive organization. They were a very difficult opponent.
“I don’t remember a team becoming champions without a couple of victories in the last minute. Everytime I won a league title, we had a couple of matches we won in the last minute. It was the first time this season, so so happy with the points,” he said.
