Jose Mourinho enjoyed a happy return to former club Chelsea as Samuel Eto'o's late goal confirmed Inter's place in the last eight of the UEFA Champions League.
Chelsea 0-1 Inter
Inter win 3-1 on aggregate.
Jose Mourinho's statement that Stamford Bridge is a happy hunting ground for him was proved right as Inter celebrated a notable success over his former club and a place in the Champions League quarter-finals for the first time in four years. Samuel Eto'o's late goal increased the Italian champions' first-leg advantage and inflict Chelsea's first home defeat in the competition since February 2006, ending their run of 21 unbeaten games. To cap a miserable night for Carlo Ancelotti's English side, Didier Drogba was ordered off three minutes from time after tangling with Thiago Motta, leaving Mourinho's current club as deserved winners having missed a number of decent second-half opportunities.
