John Terry reveals 'incredible' rule Jose Mourinho taught his Chelsea players to waste time when winning... before explaining how the Portuguese manager would get one up on the refs and enjoy making Tottenham 'suffer'

John Terry has revealed the lengths Jose Mourinho would go to secure three points and explained how the former Chelsea manager would get one over on the officials.

Terry recalled how Mourinho - who won three Premier League trophies with Chelsea - used the rule book to his advantage during games in the English top-flight.

The Portuguese manager knew how to waste time without being penalised by the referee and told his players exactly how to utilise the loophole.

While working as a pundit for beIN Sports' coverage of the World Cup, Terry said: 'I remember, the rule was, if we were 1-0 up and the ball got delivered into the box…if two defenders went up together and both went down on the floor after, you didn't have to go off the field of play.
