Spurs fans were delighted to see some footage of Jose Mourinho reacting to Hugo Lloris’ penalty save during the 2-0 win over Manchester City on Sunday.
The video, which was originally posted by SuperSport before being reposted by LastWordonSpurs, shows the Portuguese manager and his assistant Joao Sacramento celebrating the penalty miss, before berating the fourth official after Raheem Sterling wasn’t penalised after his tumble in the penalty box. The Manchester City winger was already on a yellow card for a rash tackle which many believed should have been red, when he was judged to have ‘dived’ in the penalty box to try and win another penalty and Mourinho was clearly furious when he realised that the former Liverpool man could have been sent off.
Fortunately for Spurs, they went on to win the match 2-0 and many fans have been complimenting Mourinho and Sacramento for their passion and reaction to the events in the first half.
Should Sterling have been sent off against Spurs?
Yes
No

Passion like that is what we’ve needed, not just in the CL.

These Spurs fans were clearly delighted with the passion shown by Mourinho and Sacramento during the win over Pep Guardiola’s side.
What do we think?
Sterling arguably should have been sent off for his tackle on Dele Alli, so he can count himself very lucky to not have been given a red card after the incident in the penalty box.
