Jose Mourinho insists late Chelsea penalty was legitimate as SteveClarke seethes

Controversy: Ramires goes down in the box

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.
