While Mourinho was able to keep his discontent under wraps until after the match, Faria was not able to show as much control, as he was sent to the stands after lambasting the officials, with Mourinho forced to pull his assistant away as Faira engaged in a round of verbal sparing with referee Dean and fourth official Phil Dowd.
