Jose Mourinho has been praised for orchestrating an impressive 1-0 victory over Premier League favourites Manchester City on Monday night, dealing them their first home league defeat of the season.

But immediately after the match, the Portuguese was keen to play down their title hopes, and went as far as to describe rivals City and Arsenal as the two "big horses" in the title chase, with Chelsea currently a "little horse that still needs milk and to learn how to jump".
