Mourinho shuns Chelsea press duties after Westham United Bashing

Mourinho shuns Chelsea press duties
The former Real Madrid boss was sent to the stands as his side were beaten by West Ham after Nemanja Matic was dismissed in the first half by referee Jon Moss
Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho swerved his media duties after being sent to the stands during his side's 2-1 defeat to West Ham.

Andy Carroll's header secured the three points for Slaven Bilic's side after Nemanja Matic was sent off for the Blues in the first half, with Mourinho visibly unhappy at referee Jon Moss.

Mourinho was subsequently sent off himself after an incident in the tunnel at half-time, and watched the second-half from the stands at Upton Park. 


And the former Real Madrid boss then chose not to fulfill his post-match media duties as no member of Chelsea's staff spoke to the press at the Boleyn Ground.

Unverified reports suggested that Mourinho headed for the team bus immediately after full-time, with pressure beginning to mount over the Blues's poor start to the 2015-16 season. 

Chelsea have taken 11 points from their opening 10 games of the season, winning just three times, and currently sit in 15th position in the Premier League, 10 points behind current leaders Manchester City, who can extend their lead with a win over Manchester United on Sunday.

Neymar Is Electric - Enrique

Barcelona coach Luis Enrique described four-goal hero Neymar as "electric" following a 5-2 win over Rayo Vallecano on Saturday. The Catalans reacted to conceding a Javi Guerra opener via the Brazilian, who won and scored two penalties before adding a quick-fire brace late in an entertaining affair that further strikes from Luis Suarez and Jozabed wrapped up. Having watched the treble winners experience some rocky form prior to the international break with losses at Celta Vigo and Sevilla, Enrique was grateful for Neymar's inspirational showing. "Neymar is electric," the Blaugrana boss told reporters after the match. "Defences must either foul him and give away a penalty or he will score goals. Since he has started the season has been great, and today he was decisive. "In a nutshell, he has been very impressive." Neymar's constant trickery left the Rayo backline struggling to cope but Paco Jemez's men offere...
