Jose Mourinho SLAMS penalty decisions but happy after Chelsea's point against Southampton

The Blues are six points clear of second-placed Manchester City with a game in-hand, but for the second successive match against the Saints, Mourinho bemoaned decisions by the match officials.

The Portuguese was fined £25,000 for saying there was a "clear campaign" against his side after Cesc Fabregas was denied a penalty and booked for diving instead in December's draw at St Mary's.

The Blues boss was again frustrated after Nemanja Matic was penalised at Stamford Bridge for appearing to take down Mane in the box- allowing Dusan Tadic to score from the spot and cancel out Diego Costa's opener - while Branislav Ivanovic was denied a spot kick at the other end.

"I'm happy with the situation. I'm happy with the six-point lead, but I'm not happy with the result," Mourinho said.

"If you remember our two matches against Southampton: in one game, one penalty that is not a penalty and in another game a penalty that was not given. You are speaking about six points transformed into two points."

Mourinho was clearly upset with the penalty decisions, but bit his tongue on this occasion.

He said: "My opinion is not important. Important is Mr Mike Dean.

"His decision was a penalty and his decision was no penalty on Ivanovic."
