Jose Mourinho, gracious in defeat.
No ball boys, no defensive tactics, no referees to blame this time. The Chelsea manager has taken his beaten and he has doffed his cap to his League One counterparts.
Bradford came from 2-0 down at Stamford Bridge of all places and managed to really reproduce the magic of the cup (sorry, you can leave now if you want to) by claiming an unlikely 4-2 triumph.
And, instead of going through his usual ‘in the unlikely event that we lose’ autopilot tirade, Jose Mourinho delivered a touch of class afterwards. The Portuguese boss entered the visitors’ changing room and went around and congratulated each of the players.
Jose Mourinho has just been in an ecstatic away dressing room to congratulate every City player and staff member. A real touch of class.

Still, it didn’t stop the Bradford lads from rubbing it in and basking a bit more in their glory…
