On the convincing 4-0 win at The Valley, Mourinho said: "The second half was perfect for us. We scored two quick goals which killed the game and I was able to make changes and bring on some fresh players. It was all over in 60 minutes."
And the Blues boss singled out two goal defender John Terry for special praise: "John was in the right place at the right time, but the service he got from the set-pieces was great.
"He is obviously an inspirational player for us. He is a winner and influences the people around him which is why we have given him a massive new contract."
