Former Arsenal defender Martin Keown has dismissed claims that Chelsea’s football this season has been boring, claiming that Brazilian trio Willian, Oscar and Diego Costa were ‘running wild’ before Christmas as their team played ‘total football’.

Keown used his column in the Mail to counter the argument of fans who have decried Mourinho’s allegedly boring and negative tactics.

‘Chelsea were so good we all thought they would win the league by Christmas. Cesc Fabregas and Nemanja Matic were dominating midfield, while Oscar, Willian, Eden Hazard and Diego Costa were running wild,’ he wrote.

‘They looked a completely different team — and it was hard to believe it was one built by Jose Mourinho. It was Total Football.’
