The 29-year-old, who started his career as a youngster at Stamford Bridge, was one of the players to find the back of the net against the Blues in a result that stunned fans all over the country this Saturday.

From 2-0 down, Bradford staged an amazing comeback to beat the Premier League leaders 4-2, and although Morais says he’d planned not to celebrate against a club that is still close to his heart, he couldn’t help it given the emotion of the situation.

The Portuguese wide-man added that Jose Mourinho may have been trying to distract him before the game after striking up a conversation with him in the tunnel, though he holds nothing against his fellow countryman, whom he called a gentleman.

“I thought I wouldn’t celebrate if I scored here,” Morais was quoted by the Daily Express.

“Chelsea moulded me, and I felt I should show respect to Mr Mourinho, he’s such a gentleman. But when you score you are overcome.

“He came out and started shouting my name (before the game). I’m like, ‘Where do I look?’. That’s what he’s like, what a character. I said ‘Hi’ he asked how I was. He was probably trying to take my mind off the game. That’s so clever.”
