Jose Mourinho branded the referee 'weak and naive'

The Blues drew 0-0 in Ukraine despite twice hitting the post from an Eden Hazard effort and Willian free-kick.

They had a credible penalty shout waved away early in the first half when Cesc Fabregas was brought down by Serhiy Rybalka.

And Jose Mourinho seems not to have learned from his FA fine and stadium ban last week, and has hit out at referee Damir Skomina.

"The referee was weak and naive with the penalty," Mourinho said after the game.

"I cannot understand what the referee behind the goal does because he doesn't make a clear decision too.

"I see progress. We hit the post twice, had a good solid defensive performance against dangerous team. To lose this game would have been bad for us."
