Pulis and Mourinho had one hell of a bear hug with each other before Monday night’s match.
This came after the two managers exchanged back and forth praise giving in the pre-match press conference.
Mourinho admitted his respect for Pulis after ‘winning his league’ and making sure West Brom avoided the drop, while Pulis said Chelsea’s detractors this season had ‘a cheek’ considering how the Blues stormed home to the Premier League title.
To cap it all off, when the duo shared a warm embrace in the tunnel before kick-off. If you look closely, Pulis did his best to ignore the Portuguese boss before finally acknowledging his outstretched arm.
