Jose Mourinho gives his reaction after Chelsea clinched a thumping 6-0 victory against Maribor

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho was happy enough with his side's display as they thrashed Maribor 6-0 to strengthen their position at the top of Group G.

Loic Remy grabbed the first for the Premier League leaders before Didier Drogba scored his first goal for the club since his decisive strike in the 2012 final.

John Terry, a Mitja Viler own goal and a late brace from Eden Hazard sealing an emphatic win at Stamford Bridge and afterwards Mourinho felt it was a job well done.

The players kept enjoying the game, playing with ambition and trying to score goals, so three important points.

He told Sky Sports: "It was good. Obviously when you score a third before half-time the opponents were not strong enough to have a reaction in the second-half and to create problems for you, so it was a safe performance.

"I think we were very, very strong when we had to be very strong, which was at the beginning of the game, and after that we had the happiness to play.

"The players kept enjoying the game, playing with ambition and trying to score goals, so three important points."

Meanwhile, Ivory Coast star Drogba hailed his moment scoring from the penalty spot as a 'really special moment' in Chelsea colours.

"I always felt lucky to score here (at Stamford Bridge) and I had that feeling again.

"I never knew if it was going to be the same story again (when he walked up to take the penalty) but I hoped so."
