Mourinho refuses to comment on Courtois’ red card

Chelsea manager, Jose Mourinho, refused to make any comments about Thibaut Courtois’ sending off in their 2-2 draw at home to Swansea.

The Belgian goalkeeper was shown a straight red card, for clattering into Bafetimbi Gomis and referee Michael Oliver also pointed to the spot with the Blues leading 2-1.

When Mourinho was asked afterwards about the decision, he insisted that “I don’t comment”.

Speaking to the BBC, he added: “They didn’t have chances against 11. The team was playing very, very well in the first half. In the second, in one minute, it was a penalty, red card and the goal – 2-2.

“If you have 10 men and are winning you can defend well and try to find a strategy but to play with 10 men and try to win the game is more difficult.

“I would say we were the best team with 11 players and with 10 we fought hard”.
