Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has expressed his displeasure over referees' chief's decision to apologise to West Brom after a penalty was awarded against them in their 2-2 draw at Stamford Bridge.
West Brom were leading Chelsea 1-2 in the added time when Ramires was brought down and referee Andre Marriner awarded a penalty to the host. A decision west Brom frowned at, claiming that Ramires cheated by diving.
Consequently referees' chief Mike Riley put a call through to West Brom manager, apologising for the incident but Mourinho is not happy with that because according to him, the action may set a ' dangerous precedent '.
" Nobody called me to apologise that it wasn't a free kick against West Brom for their first goal, " Mourinho said as he was responding to West Brom manager's revelation that referees' chief Riley called him to apologise.
"I curious to know if people see that as a normal situation, if now on it is going to be the same for everybody,"
"I'm not saying a mistake - decision that hypothetically - and, I repeat hypothetically favours Chelsea, they know they are going to be publicly exposed by their boss. That they know they can make hypothetically, mistakes, favouring other teams, nothing happens, "
"I'm interested to know if this is the start, that from now on it's going to be the same for everybody. "
Chelsea plays West Ham today.
