The highlight of this weekend was undoubtedly José Mourinho’s first home defeat in the Premier League with Chelsea, as they were defeated 1-2 by Sunderland. This result marked the end of Mourinho’s remarkable streak of 77 unbeaten home games in the league, a fact that clearly irritated the self-proclaimed “Special One.” Mourinho did not hold back in his post-match comments, particularly targeting the refereeing.
In a brief but pointed statement, Mourinho congratulated his players for their effort, acknowledged Sunderland’s victory, and then turned his attention to the match referee, Mike Dean, and Mike Riley, the head of referees for the Premier League. Mourinho’s comments were laced with sarcasm and frustration, suggesting dissatisfaction with the officiating in the match.
Despite Chelsea taking the lead through Samuel Eto’o’s 9th goal of the season (all scored at Stamford Bridge), Sunderland managed to stage a comeback, with Wickham equalizing and Borini netting the winning goal.
