Chelsea moved to the top of Group G but still require at least a point against Porto in the final game to progress to the last 16.
And Mourinho was delighted to back up the Norwich win with another but has lamented the playing surface after Terry's injury.

Terry is now likely to miss the Tottenham game
"It was very important especially with what happened in Porto," Mourinho said.
"It is also important to have two victories in a few days. I hope tranquility comes, morale comes, confidence comes.
"In this moment we are in a good position. They [Maccabi] don't deserve such a hard punishment, they did OK for periods of the game with 10 men.
"Asmir Begovic had a beautiful hand to keep a clean sheet. The pitch doesn't help, it was really difficult for us.
"One injury yesterday with Ramires, one for John Terry today and I'm happy with just two. The pitch is really bad. John is a doubt for the weekend but I don't want to speak without tests."
