'Fake' table frustrates Mourinho

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho turned his ire on Premier Leaque officials by slamming a "fake" table after his side returned to the summit with a 3-0 win at home to Stoke on Saturday.

Victory, secured by goals from Mohamed Salah, Frank Lampard and Willian, saw Chelsea leapfrog Liverpool into first place by a point.

It also left the London club two points in front of Manchester City but, significantly, Manuel Pellegrini's third-placed side will have two games in hand over Chelsea and Liverpool come the end of this weekend.
