Chelsea fans have come out in support of club doctor Eva Carneiro after she was blasted by Jose Mourinho.

The Special One blasted his staff for being "impulsive and naive" after Saturday's draw with Swansea.

Already down to 10 men after Thibaut Courtois' red card, the Chelsea physios ran on to the pitch to treat Eden Hazard, despite the Belgian seemingly not badly injured.

It meant they had to play with only nine players for a short period, and the Portuguese wasn't impressed.

"I was unhappy with my medical staff. They were impulsive and naive," Mourinho told Sky Sports. "Whether you are a kit man, doctor or secretary on the bench you have to understand the game."

But Carneiro hit back with a sly dig at Mourinho, insisting that she was thankful for the public's support.

"I would like to thank the general public for their overwhelming support. Really very much appreciated."

Supporters have since messaged her again with support, insisting that Mourinho was the one in the wrong.

One popular comment on her Facebook post read: "you did the right thing Eva , health before all else. Much as we love Jose he was bang out of order. Everyone is right behind you"

Another added: "Jose is not a Doctor!!! I think is the right decision to help Eden Hazard.Respect."

While another offered an apology on behalf of Mourinho: "José was 100 percent wrong, Chelsea fans love you, José is not a doctor , I'm okay with light banter from José but that was plain disrespectful. So sorry on his behalf."
