Jose Mourinho claimed his first trophy since returning for his second
spell as Chelsea manager with a comfortable Capital One Cup final
victory over Tottenham at Wembley.
John Terry and Diego Costa did the damage - both with
the aid of deflections - either side of the interval as Spurs' hopes of
repeating their success over Chelsea in this competition
seven years ago
never got off the ground.
The win gave Mourinho his first silverware since La
Liga success with Real Madrid in 2012 and Chelsea their first since the
Europa League final victory against Benfica in Amsterdam a year later.
Despite a career laden with trophies, Mourinho claimed
this was the most important final of his time in the game and Chelsea
were never seriously troubled once Christian Eriksen's early free-kick
rebounded to safety off the woodwork.
