Speaking in his post match interview, Alan Pardew could scarcely hide his satisfaction after clinching a surprise win over Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. And, frankly who can blame him?!
Palace shocked the hosts when they took the lead through Sako just after the hour mark, and despite a Falcao equaliser, Pardew’s men clinched the win after Joe Ward nodded home.
Pardew has a remarkable record against Jose Mourinho. After todays victory he becomes the only manager to have beaten Mourinho on three occasions in Premier League history.
For Mourinho, his last seven defeats in the Premier League have all come against opposition who’s managers last name begins with the letter ‘P’. Such news which should see all teams dumping their current coaches and scrambling to find one who’s last name begins with ‘P’.
