Mourinho sent off for crying gesture at opposition bench after stoppage-time winner

A 90th-minute winner by Stephen El Shaawary saw Mourinho's men claim a 1-0 win at the Stadio Olimpico.

With the clock ticking down, Mourinho mocked the Monza bench by saying: "You talk a lot and then you cry".

His gestures then drew the referee's attention, earning him a red card in the ninth minute of added time.

As a result, he'll miss the upcoming clash against his former club, Inter Milan.

Speaking to Sky Sports Italia after the match, Mourinho said: "I made some gestures, I said nothing offensive.

"It was because last season some talented people, but lacking in experience, had some nasty words about us.

"Today the only ones making a show on the touchline and trying to pressure the referee were Monza. I am honest, they are a good team and did not deserve to lose today."

Mourinho was dismissed from the dugout on three occasions last season, against Cremonese, Torino and Atalanta respectively - more than any other player or manager in Italy's top flight last term.

However for Roma, their victory was certainly good news.
