STAMFORD BRIDGE, London — Chelsea didn't just defeat Manchester United on Sunday, they humiliated them. It was a spectacular loss for Jose Mourinho's side, dishing up the Stamford Bridge homecoming he was never expecting.
This wasn't a love affair, it was a massacre.
Mourinho wasn't supposed to watch his team being thrashed 4-0. He was supposed to be turning up in west London to show the Blues what they were missing—we were expecting a parade. Now Manchester United manager, the Portuguese was supposed to remind those in SW6 what it was that had so endeared them to him.
