It's Liverpool or City! Jose Mourinho rules Chelsea OUT of title race after Palace defeat
CHELSEA boss Jose Mourinho says his side now have no chance of winning the Premier League after losing to Crystal Palace on Saturday afternoon.
Mourinho had always insisted that Chelsea could not be considered favourites while Manchester City still had games in hand but the Portuguese boss believes the loss to the Eagles in the final nail in the coffin of his title ambitions.
He said: "We depend too much on other results. When you depend a little it's possible, when you depend a lot, I don't think it's possible.
I don't think now we can win the league.
"We depend now too much. I don't think now we can win the league."
Mourinho was gracious in defeat, saying that Palace won because they wanted it more.
He said: "Their spirit, desire and commitment was stronger. Because of the spirit, they [Crystal Palace] deserved the win."
