Chelsea FC: Jose Mourinho Couldn't Hide Frustration Over Referee's Crucial Calls Following Man Utd Draw

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho couldn't hide his frustration over adverse crucial calls made against his side during the Premier League clash against Manchester United that ended in a draw.

The Blues were able to make the breakthrough after 53 minutes after Didier Drogba headed the ball to an empty net following a Cesc Fabregas corner.

However, the Red Devils were able to escape the game with a point, thanks to an effort by a lurking Robin van Persie in a rebound play, after David de Gea parried Marouane Fellaini's header from point-blank range.

Branislav Ivanovic was sent off just minutes before RVP's equalising goal, and Mourinho wasn't too pleased with the decision.

"The red card, I could see it coming," said the Portuguese mentor.

"If I have to speak about the second yellow I have to speak about lots of things -- the penalty that Ivanovic should have been given, the accumulation of yellow cards, the throw-ins. I know I speak always with my heart and get in trouble."

The former Real Madrid overseer refused to elaborate on his contentions to avoid causing a stir.

"I have come from the flash interviews. I did five, and in all five the first question was my comments on the referee," he added.

"I told them no comment -- because when five ask the same thing I don't need to answer.

"I prefer just to say that in my opinion, from where I was and reading the game, my feeling is that we had a good first half and a fantastic second half.

"To come here and play the way we did and not to be happy with the point -- because we are not -- shows clearly how good we were and how well we are playing at this moment."

"You know I cannot speak. Some [managers] can, some don't. I am one of the ones that cannot, because you know what happens to me when I speak.

"So I won't. I will speak about the game, which I thought was good. I thought Manchester United were good, but Chelsea were very good. We played very well. I'm so happy with my players."

"I prefer to be in front rather than behind, obviously, because you have a little space for your mistakes -- or for the referees' mistakes."
