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

OUCH! Ivanovic is incensed as Barnes knocks him flying in mid-air after both players challenge for a loose ball. The defender is remonstrating with the referee but Martin Atkinson is having none of it from the goalscorer.
MINUTE 33: SPOT-KICK SHOUT

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!
MINUTE 43: COSTA GOES DOWN

ANOTHER PENALTY SHOUT FOR CHELSEA? Shackell overshoots his run and it looks like he pushes Costa to the ground. But as the home faithful cry foul the referee waves play on, much to the amusement of Mourinho on the sidelines.
MINUTE 69: MATIC RED

IT'S ALL KICKING OFF! Chelsea are down to 10 men as Matic retaliates to a poor challenge from Barnes. The striker follows through on his opponent and the Serbian's reaction is one of intense anger as he shoves him to the floor! After a brief scrum, Martin Atkinson has no choice but to send the Blues player off.
