José Mourinho speaks to TNT Sports after Benfica’s loss: We played four matches, two game in between matches. I have never trained. I just do recovery.
One of my strengths is training, we haven’t had time for that … Some difficulties and big pressure on the players with elections at the club, they cannot escape that. We were organised, we studied Chelsea well. We coped well with the designs they put on the pitch.
Cucurella in between the lines or out wide. And then a difficult moment with three midfielders on a yellow card in a match with quick transactions. Today, we did enough to get a point and we must now find points elsewhere.
As a coach that arrived 10 days ago it is a positive feeling. But the next two matches: Porto away and Newcastle away. It is what it is.
I told the guys that Chelsea is better than Porto. The boys did OK. Sheffield United 1-2 Southampton: The Blades’s manager Chris Wilder was sent off after booting a ball into the crowd (in reaction to his side conceding a penalty which Southampton ended up missing) and hitting one of his own supporters.
He went to apologise but he was shown a red regardless. The visitors came from behind to win all three points after Ross Stewart’s scored in the 51st and 58th minute. Championship Birmingham 2-2 Sheffield Wednesday Blackburn 1-2 Swansea Bristol City 1-1 Ipswich Hull 2-2 Preston North End Leicester 1-1 Wrexham Middlesbrough 0-0 Stoke Sheffield United 1-2 Southampton Derby 1-1 Charlton League One Blackpool 2-2 Luton Cardiff 0-1 Burton Albion Bodø/Glimt 2-2 Spurs: Frank’s side will be thanking their lucky stars.
They were outclassed for most of the match but another late equaliser, an own goal, secured the visitors a point. It will be disappointing for Bodø/Glimt after tremendous goals from Hauge the home town hero. Chelsea 1-0 Benfica: Mourinho’s homecoming ends in defeat after an own goal from Ríos in the first half.
It is a very important win for Maresca’s side, who have struggled as of late. It was crucial for them to grind out the win after going ahead and luckily for the hosts, João Pedro’s red card came too close to full-time to make a significant difference on the game. Chelsea 1-0 Benfica Bodø/Glimt 2-2 Spurs Galatasaray 1-0 Liverpool Atlético Madrid 5-1 Eintracht Frankfurt Pafos 1-5 Bayern Munich Inter 3-0 Slavia Prague Marseille 4-0 Ajax Three out of four games in which a Chelsea player gets sent off.
João Pedro, who came on in the second half, is shown a second yellow for a high boot. Chelsea 1-0 Benfica: A yellow card is shown towards the direction of the Benfica bench … Uefa confirm it is to Mourinho. Classic.
Bodø Glimt 2-2 Spurs: After a very long VAR check, the goal stands! Big goal for the visitors. Richarlison has barely had a kick of the ball but he gets their equaliser.
Gray has a shot that is saved and it is ricocheted off of either the Brazilian or the defender Gundersen … but another VAR check. Was there an offside? Bodø Glimt 2-1 Spurs: Great play from the visitors as they counter after a Spurs corner that ends with Helmersen hitting the woodwork.
That is their 16th attempt on the Tottenham goal tonight. Worrying stat for Frank. Bodø Glimt 2-1 Spurs: Odobert hits the post after diving on to head Kudus’s cross.
So close! An absolute hammering in the Spanish capital. Amenda is judged to have committed a foul after a VAR check and Alvarez makes no mistake from the spot despite Santos getting a hand on his paneka.
Chelsea 1-0 Benfica: Mourinho makes three substitutions. Schjelderup, Ivanovic and Leandro Barreiro come on. Chelsea breaks and Fernández puts a great ball in for Estêvão, who heads it goalwards.
Trubin is full stretch as he jumps and tips it over the bar. So close! Chelsea 1-0 Benfica: The whistle blows after João Pedro fouls Otamendi but the replay shows the defender going down and holding his face.
João Pedro did not touch his face. Chelsea 1-0 Benfica: The medics are on the pitch for Silva, who was caught by Trubin on the back of the head. He is up on his feet but he will be substituted off for Araújo.
Atlético Madrid and Bayern are running away with wins, the former having just scored through Simeone (their forward not their manager) to make it 4-1 while the German giants are 5-1 up after Olise fired into the roof of the net, having earlier assisted twice. It is not over until it is over. A fantastic cross from Porro finds Van de Ven, whose fantastic header is fired into the back of the net.
Can Frank’s side kick on now? What a finish! Great little turn and on to his right foot before smashing it past Vicario.
A home town hero. But so poor from Spurs who lost...
