Sports Mikel's goal sealed victory for Chelsea on Wednesday- Jose Mourinho

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has that the decisive third goal against Sporting Lisbon on Wednesday helped them see out the contest in their last group game in the UEFA Champions League.

Nigeria's John Obi Mikel guided in a Zouma's head for the Blues third goal in their 3-1 win, making sure that Sporting didn't find a way to come back in the game.

It was Mikel's first goal in the Champions League, and Mourinho said that it was a vital goal for his side.

“We played seriously, we were strong and we deserved to win.

“The ones who are playing regularly, they faced the game in the right way. Those that don’t always play, they came in very well.

“When the game was 2-1 there could have been some emotion but when it went to 3-1 the game was over and the better side won,” Mourinho said at the post-game press conference.
