Jose Mourinho watched his Chelsea side hand Middlesbrough
their first defeat of 2007 before jetting off to spend a few days
in the sun.
The Barclays Premiership champions made it five wins on the trot in
all competitions, two goals from top scorer Didier Drogba, who took
his tally for the season to 25, and an own goal from Abel Xavier
keeping them six points behind Manchester United at the top of the
table.
Mourinho said: "I wanted Chelsea to win and win and win and, in the
main, that is what we have done. Now we must keep on doing
it."
He added: "Credit to Manchester United, they are doing it too this
season. We are in a battle. We cannot afford not to keep on
winning, neither can they. We are enjoying it. To go on enjoying
it, we must keep on winning. It is a simple philosophy."
"We feel we have got a good momentum going now and we want to keep
it until the end of the season."
