Mourinho's Referee Complaints Overshadow Madrid Derby Loss; Arsenal Faces Scrutiny After Brighton Rout
Jose Mourinho focused on officiating after Real Madrid's derby defeat to Atletico Madrid, while Arsenal must respond to a heavy loss at Brighton, ESPN reports.
Real Madrid lost the Madrid derby to Atletico Madrid this past weekend, but the postgame conversation centered on comments from Jose Mourinho about the officiating rather than the result, according to ESPN.
ESPN reported that Mourinho's remarks on the referee drew as much attention as the outcome itself. Separately, the outlet examined whether Arsenal can move past what it described as a deservedly heavy defeat at Brighton.
ESPN did not report disciplinary action stemming from Mourinho's comments as of publication.
