Jose Mourinho really won’t want to read this unique stat about former England under 21 striker Connor Wickham

Who's the Special One now?

Unless you support one of the teams he’s played for, you probably don’t know all that much about Connor Wickham.

But the former Ipswich striker holds a Premier League record that many have attempted to take but none have managed…until now.

Wickham was in the Sunderland team that helped cost the Blues the 2013/14 title, scoring the equalising goal for good measure, before moving to Crystal Palace in a big-money deal this summer.

And now the Eagles have become only the second outfit to best Jose Mourinho’s Chelsea at Stamford Bridge in the Premier League, with goals from Bakary Sako and Joel Ward either side of Radamel Falcao’s first Chelsea goal enough to earn a 2-1 victory.

We doubt he’ll lose that record in a hurry.
