Mourinho sent off as United draw at home, Arsenal and Man City win
Referee Mark Clattenburg apparently took exception to the manager’s protests and banished him from the touchline. Mourinho watched the second half from the stands even though there was no indication of his expulsion after the first half.
Mourinho was furious with Matteo Darmian not being given a penalty after an incident in Burnley’s area. The Italian full back was rather sent off. Replays suggested he dived inside the Burnley box.
