Twitter Reacts As Mourinho’s Unbeaten Record As Chelsea Manager At Stamford Bridge Falls
Jose Mourinho’s unbeaten record at Stamford Bridge finally fell, as their title challenge fell into ruins with defeat at home to bottom club Sunderland.
Mourinho had enjoyed 77 games without tasting defeat on home soil, but Sunderland came from behind to claim a vital victory in their fight for survival, with Fabio Borini’s dubious penalty securing all three points.
Borini himself is on loan from fellow title contenders Liverpool to add yet another twist to an incredible tale, and Twitter was a hive of activity as the world gave their verdict on affairs.
Having searched through the murky depths of the social networking site, we at Squawka bring you the best of what was said in the aftermath of a shocking 90 minutes of action.
No one can call the Premier League boring this season.

First Assaidi and now Borini scoring BIG late goals against Chelsea. Liverpool getting more out of those loans than out of Cissokho/Moses… — Oliver Kay (@OliverKayTimes) April 19, 2014
If Liverpool win the league I’ll be happy for their genuine nice supporters. The non gloating and sensible ones deserve it. All 3 of them. — Annie Eaves (@AnnieEaves) April 19, 2014

INCREDIBLE! Sunderland end Mourinho’s record of 77 unbeaten Premier League matches at Stamford Bridge (W61, D16, L1). pic.twitter.com/r6U2Rk0fWJ — Squawka Football (@Squawka) April 19, 2014
In the space of three days Sunderland completely destroy the title race. The magic of Connor Wickham eh. — Tactical Newspaper (@TacticNewspaper) April 19, 2014
Think about it. Have Chelsea really been good enough to win the title? The answer has to be in the negative. Just ask their manager. — John Brewin (@JohnBrewinESPN) April 19, 2014
Undercover Agent Fabio Borini delivers a hammer blow to Chelsea’s title hopes… Rodgers’ masterstroke? pic.twitter.com/P2psVGDRXv — Squawka Football (@Squawka) April 19, 2014

Mourinho will be desperately low tonight. He did not see that coming. He thought he’d loaned Fabio Borini to Vitesse Arnhem. — Wenger Knows Best (@wengerknowsbest) April 19, 2014
If Sunderland win this they should be given automatic immunity from relegation. Like in the Jungle @antndec — Danny Baker (@prodnose) April 19, 2014
Remember how earlier in the season Mourinho was briefing his media mates that he’d loaned Lukaku out to take points off their title rivals?
