Jose Mourinho: 'Second successive victory important for Chelsea'

Jose Mourinho has said that he is pleased that Chelsea have won their second successive match.

Chelsea defeated Maccabi Tel Aviv 4-0 in the Champions League on Tuesday evening, three days after their 1-0 win over Norwich City.

"It was very important especially with what happened in Porto. It is also important to have two victories in a few days. I hope tranquility comes, morale comes, confidence comes," Mourinho told BT Sport.

"In this moment we are in a good position. They [Maccabi] don't deserve such a hard punishment, they did okay for periods of the game with 10 men.

"Asmir Begovic had a beautiful hand to keep a clean sheet. The pitch doesn't help, it was really difficult for us. One injury yesterday with Ramires, one for John Terry today and I'm happy with just two. The pitch is really bad. John is a doubt for the weekend but I don't want to speak without tests."

Chelsea need to avoid victory in their final Champions League group game against Porto to guarantee qualification for the round of 16.
