José Mourinho has suggested that only bad decisions by officials can prevent Chelsea from winning the Premier League this season.
Nemanja Matic was sent off in Chelsea's tie against Burnley.
“I’m happy that I’m not stupid and I understood everything a couple of months ago,” Mourinho said. “If you tell me this story that started a couple of months ago finished today and now we have 12 matches to play with an advantage of five points, I tell you [we will be] champions. But I don’t know if that story ends here or if you have more waiting for us.”
Matic was sent off in the 69th minute for shoving Ashley Barnes after an ugly challenge by the Burnley forward.
After saying he did not wish to speak at length about the decisions, Mourinho said: “I prefer just to say that this game had four crucial moments: minutes 30, 33, 43 and 69. This is story of the game. I cannot comment because it is difficult for me not to say the truth.”
