Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho is mystified as to why he was sent off in his side's 0-1 loss to Aston Villa on Saturday. Fabian Delph scored the winner following the dismissals of Chelsea duo Willian and Ramires.
Frustrations boiled when Mourinho ventured onto the field to vent his anger over Ramires' red card before subsequently receiving his own marching orders by referee Chris Foy.
"It is a big occasion for me to know about the character of Mr Foy because I want to know what he is going to write about my sending off," Mourinho said.
"If it was because I was on the pitch it was 4-5 meters inside the pitch, then there should be 10 people (sent off).
"If I was sent off because I was on the pitch I ask why not all the others? Especially a player who made an aggression — Agbonlahor on Ramires. He came from the dugout, grabbed Ramires and pulled him by his neck. He was on the bench! I tried to speak with Mr Foy twice. I asked politely if he could give me five seconds and he refused."
