Fortunately, the other five, Azpilicueta, Fabregas, Costa, Willian, and Mikel, kept their personal tallies to just one each.

The FA is awaiting referee Moss’s report on the game, which is expected to detail why Mourinho was sent off. According to the BBC, any club that skips an obligatory press conference could face a warning or fine, depending on the reasons why the press conference was missed.
This is the second match in which Mourinho has been punished by a referee this season, after his criticism of official Robert Madley led to a £50,000 fine and a one-match suspended stadium ban, with Chelsea now appealing against this decision with the FA.
“It’s my firm belief that there needs to be an urgent summit meeting between Jose Mourinho; Bruce Buck, the chairman of Chelsea; Richard Scudamore, the chief executive of the Premier League; and Mike Riley, general manager of PGMOL”.
Chelsea are the “perfect” opponents for Stoke City to return to winning ways, manager Mark Hughes said after the Potters were beaten 2-0 by Watford in the Premier League on Saturday.
“Who would you replace Jose Mourinho with to get an uplift out of your club?” “I think they are feeling satiated”. But we’ve signed top-quality global footballers, who are used to playing under this sort of pressure that you get at Upton Park.

West Ham defender James Collins says the Hammers are good enough to sustain a top-four challenge in the Premier League this season. With Stoke lying a spot above Chelsea on the points table, Hughes is hoping that his side can take advantage of the London club’s dip because he expects them to recapture their best form soon. The Mirror reported that it could be a massive punishment this time, like a 5-game touchline ban. However, in both these cases, there was physical contact between the official and the managers, it is unclear what happened in this case, though it is a possible outcome in this case.
