Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho was delighted to see his side set a new record of 64 straight unbeaten home games in the Premiership after the Blues edged Birmingham City on Sunday. "Chelsea has written its name in the history books of the Premier League and it's a great record. I'm very flattered for being part of the record," Mourinho was quoted by BBC Sport on Monday. "We are very proud to beat the record, it was a good game to celebrate the home record, a game with lots of goals and enthusiasm," Even though the newly-promoted Birmingham produced an early scare in the opening 15 minutes, Mourinho's side managed to prevail with a 3-2 victory. The previous record was set by Liverpool in the 1978-1980 era, but the Portuguese coach is proud to guide the Blues to the historic achievement. "I know most of the players from the Liverpool team and to beat their record in the modern era is a fantastic achievement," he added. "The previous record belonged to top players - Kenny Dalglish, Alan Hansen, Phil Neal and other great Liverpool players. "The record means more to Chelsea than it does for me. "At the moment it belongs to Chelsea - John Terry, Frank Lampard, Eidur Gudjohnsen and all the guys who contributed. Mourinho had time to credit previous Chelsea players, who have contributed to the achievement, but left the club before enjoying it. "I'll have to go home and remember every player that helped us achieve the record because not all of them are here - Gudjohnsen, Geremi, Damien Duff, all these guys.
