Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho said that he was delighted with his side as they cruised to a 5-0 win over Swansea City on Saturday.

The Blues went five points clear at the top of the Premier League with victory in Wales, and Mourinho was full of praise for the attitude of his squad.

The Portuguese told Sky Sports News: "[Swansea] are top 10 [in the division] but maybe top five in their quality of football so 5-0 is unexpected for us, but we started very well and everything went in our direction.

"The first half was very good, we were solid and had the ball in good positions and the decisions made in front of goal were the best decisions. We hit the post twice and could have finished with even more. I am happy with the points and the quality of our football."

Chelsea travel to Liverpool in the semi-final of the League Cup on Tuesday.
