34 – Jose Mourinho has the last laugh

When Jose Mourinho’s team selection was released an hour before the match, most people wouldn’t have given his side a chance of competing with the Premier League leaders.

No Zlatan Ibrahimovic, no Henrikh Mkhitaryan and no Michael Carrick hinted that his priorities may lay with winning the Europa League this season, but 90 minutes of football later and it was the Manchester United manager having the last laugh as his side dominated Chelsea.

Victory – his first against his former side – will taste even sweeter after the backlash over his starting eleven, and it now means that he’s beaten each of the 34 Premier League clubs he’s ever faced.

Manchester United played extremely well and that’s all down to his tactics drilled into his side pre-match; with one big team beaten, United move a game closer to catching those in the top four.
