It’s fair to say this result may be something of a wind-up
If you’ve stuck your head onto the internet or in front of any sporting-related telly over the weekend you’ve no doubt seen or heard Jose Mourinho’s opinion on the sending-off of Chelsea midfielder Nemanja Matic during the club’s 1-1 draw with Burnley yesterday.
For once, Mourinho has a point, as Matic was reacting to a shocking challenge (and not the only one) from Burnley forward Ashley Barnes, but Clarets fans have seized the opportunity to further twist the knife by voting Barnes man of the match.
