Alan Pardew hails humble Jose Mourinho following Chelsea scalp

Alan Pardew hails Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho for being magnanimous in defeat following Crystal Palace's shock win at Stamford Bridge.

Crystal Palace boss Alan Pardew has praised Chelsea counterpart Jose Mourinho for his humility following the Blues' 2-1 defeat at Stamford Bridge this afternoon.

The Eagles spoiled the Portuguese's 100th Premier League game at home as Joel Ward headed an 81st-minute winner to secure a shock win for the visitors.

Radamel Falcao had equalised just moments before, and Pardew was impressed with the way in which his opposite number accepted the result.

"It was a really good performance today - one of the best performances I've seen from one of my teams in terms of composure," he told BBC Sport.

"Mourinho is the top man, he was very honourable in defeat today."

Bakary Sako opened the scoring on 65 minutes as Palace secured their third win in four games this season.
