Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho blasts Sky Sports' Diego Costa coverage

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho again slams Sky Sports for their coverage of Diego Costa's stamp on Liverpool's Emre Can.

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho has criticised Sky Sports for their coverage of Diego Costa's stamp against Liverpool last month.

The Portuguese was appearing on Sky's Goals on Sunday programme and, when questioned about Burnley forward Ashley Barnes's high tackle on Nemanja Matic during yesterday's 1-1 draw at Stamford Bridge, he again brought up the broadcaster's use of 'Costa crimes' when talking about his stamp on Emre Can.

"When I finished at the game against Liverpool, I went to the dressing room and the first thing I saw on the big screen, reading non-stop - 'Diego Costa crimes'," he said.

"I would like to know how to you, Sky Sports, describe the actions of the Burnley player yesterday? My English is not good enough to find a word. When you think 'Diego crimes' after he puts his boot on a hand, when this is 'Diego crimes', the minimum you have to say is 'criminal tackle'.

"Did you apologise to Chelsea, to Diego or myself? You didn't. As an institution, Sky is so important in the Premier League, you never apologise. When Diego Costa has a three-match ban, probably three matches to Matic... tell me how many matches this player deserves?"

Chelsea's lead at the top of the Premier League was cut to five points yesterday as Manchester City romped past Newcastle United in the evening kickoff.
