Jose Mourinho may face the wrath of FA.
Jose Mourinho risked the wrath of the Football Association after claiming the ‘campaign’ against his side is still going on and could cost Chelsea the Premier League title.
Mourinho was incensed after being held 1-1 at home by Burnley on Saturday, claiming a string of decisions by referee Martin Atkinson cost his side dearly, with Chelsea midfielder Nemanja Matic set to miss next Sunday’s Capital One Cup final against Tottenham after being sent off after 69 minutes. Mourinho felt Ashley Barnes should have been sent off for the challenge that prompted Matic to retaliate by pushing the Burnley striker over, and should also have seen red for an earlier push on Branislav Ivanovic. And Mourinho’s sense of injustice was not helped by two penalty claims that were ignored, when Michael Kightly handled an Ivanovic shot in the 33rd minute, and then when Burnley skipper Jason Shackell pushed Diego Costa to the ground shortly before half-time.
