Chelsea earned a win Samuel Eto'o scoring twice and Demba Ba also on target, that gives them a three-point lead over Schalke at the top of Group E. A point against Basle in their next game will secure their path to the last 16, but the German side could easily have been 2-0 up in the first six minutes and Chelsea were fortunate to go ahead after 31 minutes.
Schalke goalkeeper Timo Hildebrand was embarrassed when he was closed down by Eto'o, who deflected the German's kick into an empty goal. Eto'o grabbed another goal in the second half following a smart Petr Cech save, with Demba volleying in late on.
Mourinho said he was happy with the effort from his side, as David Luiz, Ashley Cole, Frank Lampard, Juan Mata, Hazard and the injured Fernando Torres sat out from match.
