Jose Mourinho has heaped praise on his Chelsea defence following their win over Liverpool on Sunday.
The Blues fell behind early to a Martin Skrtel opener, but goals from Eden Hazard and Samuel Eto'o turned the game around before the break and Chelsea held on for a 2-1 win at Stamford Bridge.
"The team did a very good job collectively," Mourinho told reporters. "It was more about my team defending really well with 10 players than specifically this one or that one."
