Jose Mourinho: 'We deserved to win'

Jose Mourinho says that Chelsea deserve their "big win" against Manchester United this afternoon.

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho believes that his team were worthy winners against Manchester United this afternoon.

The Blues beat David Moyes's men with a Samuel Eto'o hat-trick and are now two points behind Arsenal in second place in the Premier League.

"I think it is a big win and deserved, yes. The way I was analysing the game it was hard for them to be losing 2-0 at half time. They started better than us, they had a good initiative," Mourinho told BBC Sport.

"The second half was different. For 25-30 minutes we had very good control until we dropped back and they reacted with pride. I think this game was a bit of a contradiction to other games.

"Normally we produce and produce and then it is hard for us to score, this time with the first shot we scored. The second goal was the killer in the box I know from many years ago and it looks like Samuel Eto'o is coming back."

Chelsea's next league match is a home encounter with West Ham United near the end of the month.
