Jose Mourinho insists late Chelsea penalty was legitimate as Steve Clarke seethes

Jose Mourinho has shrugged off suggestions that midfielder Ramires
dived to win Chelsea a stoppage-time penalty.

Eden Hazard knocked home from 12 yards to steal the Blues a point ,
but despite protests from West Brom the Portuguese stood firm.

When asked by Radio Five Live if he felt it was a legitimate penalty
shout, Mourinho was resolute in his response:"I don't think it was a
penalty, I know it was," he replied bullishly.

"Andre Marriner is one of the best referees in Europe.""We have a
penalty which is difficult to accept for winning team, but WBA know
the ref didn't make a mistake."

However, opposite number Steve Clarke felt quite differently when
quizzed about the incident:

"Penalty? The non penalty? That's my take on it: no penalty."I'm sad,"
added the Baggies manager, who spent years at Stamford Bridge as a
player and then assistant manager, "I'm angry."

"The non penalty? That's my take on it: no penalty. I'm sad, I'm
angry."Albion keeper Ben Foster labelled the decision a "load of s**t"
as he vented on Twitter.
