'One cup in the pocket' as Chelsea look towards Premier League glory

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho had his sights firmly set on achieving Premier League glory after his side beat West Ham United.

The Blues, fresh off their Capital One Cup triumph on Sunday, got the better of the Hammers 1-0 at Upton Park on Wednesday courtesy of Eden Hazard's 22nd-minute header.

West Ham boss Sam Allardyce felt Hazard was off-side when nodding in Ramires' cross but for Mourinho, it was a legitimate goal which has helped point the west Londoners in the right direction of the premiership.

"Eden starts the action outside the box and he moves the ball, (Cesc) Fabregas, Oscar, pass to Ramires," said the Portuguese tactician.

"I don't think Ramires is offside and Eden coming from outside the box I don't think is offside. But I didn't see on television. Maybe Sam saw it, but for me, no.

"Now we are trying to build. We have one cup in the pocket. Let's see what we can do."
