Jose Mourinho slams 'ridiculous' Chelsea defending

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has admitted that his side must work on their defensive balance if they are to win the Premier League title this season.

The Blues, who are currently top of the league table, came out on top 6-3 against Everton at Goodison Park this evening in what was a hugely entertaining contest.

"It was wonderful for everyone at the stadium and watching television around the world - but not for me," Mourinho told BBC Sport. "We cannot make so many defensive mistakes. We want to improve as a team by keeping our defensive strength and quality and improving in other areas.

"Today we showed we are improving in other areas but not keeping the balance in defence. The team likes to have the ball, that is very important but we need to keep our defensive balance and not commit mistakes.

"Wednesday afternoon we spent 90 minutes defending corners and free-kicks but today we conceded from a free-kick so I cannot be happy with the ridiculous goal we conceded."

Chelsea take on Swansea City in their next league game in two weeks time following the international break.
