Mourinho praises Mikel

Jose Mourinho was full of praise for Nigeria midfielder john obi mikel today following his sides 2 nill win over hull City at the bridge.

Mourinho had to make do without Fabregas who have featured for virtually every premier league game for the blues this term.

Chelsea opened the scoring when Mikel dispossessed fellow Nigerian midfielder Omatsone Aluko, the resulting cross from Oscar found Hazard who nodded in.

Mourinho said after the game on Mikel: “John Mikel Obi also had a very positive performance. Once more a big player for us didn’t play – this time Fabregas – and the people who replaced him assumed responsibility.”
