Saturday's Recap
The look on Mourinho's face was worth a thousand words at the final whistle, as Chelsea were anything but champions, falling at the feet of Jurgen Klopp and his new Liverpool team.
The Blues appeared to have shook off the cobwebs of recent disappointments as they took an early lead through Ramirez, but Stamford Bridge was stunned into silence as Philippe Coutinho snatched an equaliser in first-half stoppage time.
The Brazilian doubled his side's goal tally in the second half; The Chelsea defence began to collapse and allowed the Reds the freedom of their penalty box.
It was left to substitute Christian Benteke to wrap up the points, given acres of space in the Blues' area, and the striker slotted home unchallenged to make it 3-1.
Mourinho was clearly rattled in his press conference after the game, looking like a man who is dejected and accepting of his fate.
However, journalist Piers Morgan defended the Special One, comparing him to one of the Premier League's iconic managers:
Manchester City continued their quest to win back the Premier League crown as they beat Norwich 2-1 at home.
Nicolas Otamendi gave the hosts the lead midway through the second half, but the Canaries fought back to grab a surprise equaliser as Cameron Jerome scored after a horrendous mistake from Joe Hart.
It was left to Yaya Toure to secure the win in the 89th minute, converting a penalty after Russell Martin's red card for handball.
Aleksandar Kolarov missed a second penalty deep into injury time, but the win sees City stay at the top of the league, despite almost giving the victory away.
Arsenal are level on points with City at the top after a convincing 3-0 win at Swansea.
Three second-half goals from Olivier Giroud, Laurent Koscielny and Joel Campbell facilitated the victory, as the Gunners look in top form before the Christmas rush begins.
Despite having less possession, the north London side proved to be the more potent team, as highlighted by WhoScored.com:
Watford took their second win in a row after a great performance against West Ham at home. Striker Odion Ighalo continued his electrifying goalscoring run for the Hornets as they sealed a 2-0 win.
Manchester United's goalscoring hangover continued at Selhurst Park, but the north-west giants still managed to claim a point, despite being pummelled by Crystal Palace at times.
Coach Louis van Gaal watched on helplessly as Wayne Rooney once again misfired in the striker's role, as United drop to fourth.
Leicester are proving they are not a flash in the pan, as they leapfrog United in the table. The form of Vardy and Riyad Mahrez has taken the Foxes to parts previously unknown for the King Power crowd, and the pair once again delivered.
Salomon Rondon gave the Baggies the lead shortly before half-time, but two goals from Mahrez and one from Vardy in a 20-minute spell put the hosts in deep trouble. Rickie Lambert's late penalty gave West Brom a chance of a point late on, but it wasn't enough to peg back coach Claudio Ranieri's side.
Newcastle were denied a win by Stoke goalkeeper Jack Butland after their humbling in the Tyne-Wear derby, as the young stopper shone for his side's goalless draw at St James' Park.
The Magpies couldn't force their way past the starlet, as Butland proves to be one of the league's best young goalkeepers.
It appears there is only one way for Mourinho to go now, and that is out of the Stamford Bridge exit as his side embarrassed themselves once more.
The Blues started positively in Saturday's lunchtime kick-off but ran out of steam in the second half against a Liverpool team who have looked goal shy under Klopp.
As Carlo Ancelotti waits in the wings, ready to take control at Stamford Bridge for a second time if Mourinho is dismissed, per Adam Skinner of the Express, the public can only watch on and wonder where it all went wrong for the Special One, who has gone from club icon to failed coach in only a matter of months.
