Jose Mourinho has accused Levante of playing 'dirty football' in their 1-0 win over Real Madrid.

Mourinho's side suffered their first league defeat of the season after Arouna Kone's 67th-minute strike.

Madrid also ended the game with ten men after Sami Khedira was sent off for pushing an opponent.

"I don't want to take anything away from Levante's merit," Mourinho told reporters. "As always, here at their home they let them do as they want and they do it very well.

"I don't want to use the word, I am not sure if the word is rude, if it is it's not my intention but I can't find another... the dirty side of football, you know - the faking, the provocation, gaining time, not giving the ball."

The loss leaves Madrid fifth in La Liga, three points behind leaders Valencia.
