Mourinho's minutes: What was the Chelsea manager complaining about?



Posted Sunday, February 22, 2015 by Goal.com

The Blues boss only wanted to highlight four specific moments - minutes 30, 33, 43 and 69 - in his post-match interview, but what exactly was he referring to?

Jose Mourinho was in prickly mood once again after watching his Chelsea side draw 1-1 against Burnley at Stamford Bridge.

Nemanja Matic was showna a straight red card for pushing Ashley Barnes, but only after the Clarets midfielder had lunged in and caught the Serb on the shin, foe which he went unpunished.

Mourinho did not want to be drawn on specifics, though: "There are four moments of the game that write the story of the game. Minute 30, minute 33, minute 43 and minute 69. The game had four moments and don't ask me more questions because I don't answer."

So what is the Portuguese talking about? Allow Goal's play-by-play commentary to explain...

MINUTE 30: IVANOVIC CLASH

PENALTY? Kightly has his arm up in the box as he blocks a shot from the edge of the area from Ivanovic...but the referee waves away any penalty shouts. The Burnley man is lucky not to have given away a spot kick there!
