Chelsea Humiliated



Middlesbrough made a mockery of crisis talk at the Riverside Stadium by handing Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho a stunning 3-0 defeat - his heaviest defeat in English football. Goals from Fabio Rochemback, Stewart Downing and Aiyegbeni Yakubu condemned the Blues to just their second Premiership defeat of the season, and it was every bit as comprehensive as the scoreline suggests.
Chelsea crashed to their first Premiership loss since November - and their heaviest under Jose Mourinho - as struggling Boro were boosted.
Here is what the coach had to say Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho:"When you lose, it is always a bad day, especially when you don't lose a lot.
"In my time at Chelsea, this is the third defeat in the Premiership and you can say it was the worst.
"We lost to Manchester City and didn't deserve it, we lost at Manchester United and didn't deserve it. We lost today 3-0 - and we deserved it."
