Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho: Premier League title win is an "impossible mission"

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho admits that winning the Premier League title this season is beyond his side due to their dismal start to the campaign.

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho has conceded that it is almost "impossible" for his side to win the Premier League title this season.

The Blues have endured a torrid start to the campaign, but did manage to end a run of three-straight defeats in the top flight by beating Norwich City 1-0 at Stamford Bridge.

Diego Costa's second-half strike was enough to end Chelsea's losing run, and Mourinho has now set his sights on climbing the table to challenge for a spot in the top four.

He told Sky Sports News: "It's a bit of a relief. The pressure was there - I was feeling, the players were feeling too. We coped well with that and we got a result which obviously we needed very, very much.

"Fourth position for me is not an impossible mission. If you ask me the title I would say impossible mission. Maybe Tom Cruise can do it [but] it's complicated because you have to recover points from four candidates.

"But to grab one of the [teams] that go up and will also have a little bit of a collapse... the fourth position is a difficult position but a possible target."

Chelsea moved above Norwich into 15th place in the table as a result of their win.
