Your support makes all the difference.Jose Mourinho's courtship of controversy continued on Saturday as he went sent off during his side’s Premier League encounter with West Ham United.
With Chelsea trailing to a Mauro Zarate goal and down to ten men after Nemanja Matic’s sending off, the Portuguese coach decided to have a few choice words with the match referee Jonathan Moss.
There are unconfirmed reports that Mourinho attempted to enter the officials’ room at half-time. What we do know is that he was sent to watch the second half from the stands and, unsurprisingly, a lot of non-Chelsea fans found that quite funny.
Many social media users could hardly contain their excitement at the decision.
Here’s how they reacted:
Soon after the break, Chelsea pulled one back through Gary Cahill’s header but they were soon behind again.
Andy Carroll, yes that one, scored with just over ten minutes remaining and Slaven Bilic’s side held on.
West Ham claimed another impressive scalp and Mourinho’s season slumped from bad to worse.
