Vine: The ‘celebrate like a jerk’ classes are working wonders at Chelsea

Jose Mourinho is far too busy to be piffling with the likes of Queens Park Rangers.

Chelsea meandered their way to another 1-0 win, at Loftus Road, this afternoon and are now seven points clear in the fast-jog for the league title.

Rob Green cared not for swirling winds as he sliced a kick-out, from his mittened hands, straight up into the London air and put his relegation-nagged team in a heap of trouble.

Eden Hazard squared for Cesc Fabregas to pass home and that was that – Chelsea with the win. The goal elicited this response from Chelsea’s assistant coach, Rui Faria, as QPR boss Chris Ramsey tried to hide from reality.

Class-less touch from the Portuguese. It is less than a year after Faria received a six-match stadium ban and a £30,000 fine for abusing the match officials during Chelsea’s league encounter with Sunderland.
