Jose Mourinho thanked Chelsea fans for their continued support in recent weeks after last night's 2-1 victory over Dynamo Kiev.

The Chelsea faithful sang "stand up for the special one" during the closing stages of the game to show their backing for the Portuguese boss, and Mourinho was left overwhelmed by their actions.

"With Chelsea, I think this is my moment," Mourinho said. "It was amazing. 

"The club should be proud of their fans. I can only thank them by giving everything I have, to thank them for this reaction.

"They listen to pundits, commentators, opinions, read blogs, and this was quite unbelievable what they tried to say today.

Monaco and Arsenal are reportedly keeping tabs on Charly Musonda

"Today they tried to say: 'We want you here.' And, probably, they want to say: 'All of you, let him work. We want him. Let him work.'"

Monaco are lining up a January move for Chelsea youngster Charly Musonda, according to the Daily Mirror.

The Ligue 1 outfit tried to sign him in the summer but the Blues rejected a £10million offer.

Monaco face competition from Arsenal however with the Gunners said to be interested in taking the 19-year-old away from Stamford Bridge in the transfer window.

The teenager signed a contract extension at the beginning of the year, committing himself to the club until 2019.

Eden Hazard found himself dropped from Chelsea's starting XI last night, managing just 11 minutes for the Blues.
