The Portuguese, however, was not impressed by the subdued atmosphere in the first half which reflected the lacklustre performance from his players on the pitch.
"I think in the first half the players have to do better, I have to do better, the fans they also have to do better," Mourinho told the British media.
"Maybe I didn't do my job well, maybe I should have brought more tension to the dynamic to prepare the game."

"Zlatan is ill so I think no problem, I think he will be fine (for Liverpool)," the United manager added.
"I don't know (about Rojo). I'm not saying he's not ready to play, I'm saying that I have my doubts."
Manchester United are sixth in the league after 20 games with 39 points, trailling second-placed Liverpool by five points.
