Tim Krul, left, and Ayoze Perez walk off the pitch after Newcastle were humiliated by league leaders Manchester City.

Citing “awful individual performances” and a first-half display from Chelsea that he rated minus one out of 10, Jose Mourinho was both “relieved” and “disappointed” at Chelsea’s 2-2 draw at Newcastle United here last night.

Ayoze Perez and Georginio Wijnaldum had put Newcastle 2-0 up, but substitute Ramires got Jose Mourinho’s side back into the game at the hour-mark.
