The Super Eagles’ star was deployed in a three-man midfield alongside Ramires and Ruben Loftus-Cheek.
James O’Connor though got a goal for the hosts, the Roman Army boss was pleased to see his men never lost focus in middle.
“We brought a good solid defence and the midfield was really good. Mikel and Ramires played amazingly well,” Mourinho toldWestlondonsport.
“I analysed Walsall before. I was surprised with the quality of their play.
“They were a different team to normal in League One; not so physical, and technically fast. They were very well organised.
“I haven’t found a team in League One playing the quality of football that they tried to play,” he concluded.
Mikel who was on for the entire duration of the game was cautioned in the 39th minute.
Chelsea face a tricky test against Stoke City at the Britannia Stadium in the fourth round of the League Cup.

He told The Nation that his father was his first critic, adding that when he played his first composition to his father, he asked how people could dance to it. The singer reminisced, “Fela asked, ‘So how do you want people to dance to this?’ I only thought of the melody when I composed the song, but on speaking to him, I realised that it was important for Africans to be able to dance to the song.”
