Chelsea boss Jose Mourinhos Mickey Mouse jibe sparks tunnel bust up with West Broms Jonas Olsson
Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho is reported to have sparked a furious tunnel bust up with West Broms Jonas Olsson on Saturday after labeling the Swedish defender a Mickey Mouse player.
The incident is believed to have occurred as the two teams were heading to their respective dressing rooms following Saturdays Premier League encounter which saw Chelsea claim a share of the points after being handed a controversial stoppage-time penalty.
The Chelsea manager and Olsson are said to have squared-up in the tunnel after the Sweden international told Mourinho to Shut up and f*** off.
Up to 20 players from each side were involved before stewards and coaching staff pulled the warring factions apart.
Tempers had been running high after referee Andre Marriner awarded the hosts a late penalty for Steven Reids challenge on Ramires.
Mourinho defended the referees decision over the penalty, adding that Marriner had earlier failed to spot a foul on Branislav Ivanovic in the lead up to Stephane Sessegnons goal that saw the Baggies take a 2-1 lead.
There is no doubt [it was a penalty] said Mourinho.
And I am in no doubt it was a big mistake from the referee for their second goal, so if someone has a reason to be upset [ it is us].
But I dont change my opinion, Andre is one of the best referees in England and Europe, for me. And I wont change my opinion because he has one bad game.
