Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho revealed 'Billy
the masseur' inspired their second-half
performance in victory at Manchester City.
Chelsea became the first team to do the
double over City since Everton in 2010-11.
"We beat them twice but they are the best
team," said Mourinho, who revealed
masseur Billy McCulloch gave his team-talk
in the dressing room.
"I didn't speak. It was Billy the masseur
that spoke to the team. He was screaming
so much in Scottish I didn't understand
him but the players were clapping. It was
Billy's team-talk."
"Today we won because we were the best
team. We defended very well, we were very
compact, we deserved it.
"A victory is a victory but a victory against a
very good team is better than a victory
against an ordinary team. More credit to
my players.
"We love the big games. Obviously when
you love it maybe you feel extra motivated
for that and I keep saying, the best thing
for the evolution of this team is not to play
Europa League, not to be 15-20 points
behind the leader but with pressure to be
there, to be close to the leaders.
"When we played Arsenal at the Emirates
Arsenal were the leaders.
"(This weekend) City were the leaders. This
is the best thing that can happen to this
team.
"Maybe Arsenal deserve it more than us.
They are top of the league and they are the
favourites. We go behind them and play
and watch."
