Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho was left to praise his \u2018phenomenal\u2019 side as a 3-1 victory over Leicester left them just one win away from Premier League glory.<\/p>\n
The Blues were forced to overcome a first half setback against the dogged Foxes; the league leaders falling behind for the first time since New Year\u2019s Day when Marc Albrighton opened the scoring on the stroke of half time.<\/p>\n
But Mourinho\u2019s men were back level within three minutes of the restart through Didier Drogba, before two goals in the final 12 minutes from John Terry and Ramires made sure of the points.<\/p>\n
It means victory over Crystal Palace on Sunday, live and exclusive on talkSPORT, will finally wrap up the top flight title, having extended their lead at the top to 13 points.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is phenomenal what my team are doing,\u201d Mourinho told Sky Sports following the clash. \u201cBeing top of the league since day one is not easy; I think we are what every team would like to be. \u201cIt was a difficult victory, but deserved for us.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe first half was 50\/50, maybe Leicester were better than us, more aggressive, more intense, but in the second half the reaction was wonderful and we had control over everything. It was amazing, fantastic.\u201d<\/p>\n
However, Mourinho has pleaded for fans to not travel to Stamford Bridge in a celebratory mood on Sunday, with the Portuguese boss instead expecting supporters to get behind their team one last time against a confident Crystal Palace.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe can seal the title on Sunday, but we need to win and I hope Stamford Bridge will not be celebrating,\u201d the Blues manager added.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe fans must go to the game and be ready to push the team, not to celebrate, because we need them on Sunday. It\u2019s a big day and a big match; we need Stamford Bridge to push us.<\/p>\n
\u201cCrystal Palace won\u2019t come on holiday, they have nothing to lose, they can hurt us and they will try to win the game. If we can have 40,000 fans behind us, really behind us, it would be fantastic.\u201d<\/p>\n
