The nightmare season for Chelsea continues and yet another melt down by Jose Mourinho occurred. Mourinho was sent off today along with Nemanja Matic, as the Blues fell 2-1 West Ham United. Andy Carroll provided the dagger for the suddenly surging Hammers. Carroll scored the game winning goal for a side that is now undefeated in its last four.
Twitter then engaged in some Jose Mourinho and Chelsea schadenfreude.
After he was ejected from the pitch, Jose Mourinho got into even more trouble as he reportedly tried to access the referee’s room, which is out of bounds for managers. Sky Sports reported:
Sky reports that Mourinho tried to make his way into the referee's room at the break, which is off-limits, and was ejected. More to follow.

Jose Mourinho also skipped out on his post match press conference and post match interview duties. Already sanctioned by the Football Association once this season, the FA could punish him again for failing to adhere to protocol.
