Hull victory vital for Chelsea - Mourinho

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho was thrilled his side put their heads down and ground out a 3-2 victory over Hull City.

?The Blues conceded two goals in two minutes midway through the first half after leading 2-0 after Eden Hazard and Diego Costa scored inside 10 minutes.

?Ahmed Elmohamady and Abel Hernandez levelled for the Tigers prior to the half-hour mark in a dramatic first half but the Blues rallied through Loic Remy to maintain their stance at the summit of the Premier League table much to Mourinho's delight.

?"The victory is very, very important obviously, to go back to three points after a draw in the last game at home," he told Sky Sports.

?"The performance in my opinion was very, very good.

?"We played fantastic football until the 2-0, obviously we lost a little bit of quality after their two goals."?
