Jose Mourinho: Roma boss sent off after exploding with rage vs Atalanta
Jose Mourinho went ballistic at the referee and was shown a red card in Roma’s Serie A clash against Atalanta on Sunday afternoon.
Roma fell behind in the match in the 35th minute courtesy of Giorgio Scalvini’s strike.
The 18-year-old picked up the ball just outside of Roma’s box, composed himself, and then struck a beautiful curled effort into the bottom corner.
That was his first goal of the season and just the second goal he has scored in his professional career.
Tempers flared in the second half when Roma were denied a penalty.
Nicolo Zaniolo went down inside the box after a tussle with Caleb Okoli.
The Roma midfielder thought he should have had a spot-kick but the referee gave the foul Atalanta’s way.
Mourinho was not happy at all as he charged onto the pitch and exploded with rage.
He screamed at the referee and had to be held back by security. He was subsequently shown a red card and was forced to make his way to the dressing room.
