Mourinho furious over disallowed goal

Jose Mourinho insisted his side were robbed of three points by referee's assistant Peter Kirkup in the 0-0 draw at home to Blackburn.

Kirkup flagged Salomon Kalou's second half 'goal' offside to the fury of Mourinho who says he will be waiting for the linesman to call him and apologise for his decision.

A fuming Mourinho said: "We scored a great goal. Only the linesman can tell us why he disallowed the goal. It was so obvious but I cannot understand it. If the linesman wants to explain, then maybe it would be a good thing."

He added: "I told the linesman I would be waiting for his phone call to apologise.

"The game is over and we lost two points. I have only good things to say about my players. A team without big ammunition, without the two target strikers, Didier Drogba and Claudio Pizarro.

"A team without a top scorer like Frank Lampard and without that kind of ammunition, the team still played well against a team that fought a lot to keep a clean sheet and go home with a point.

"Blackburn are a team I respect because they fought a lot. But Chelsea were the best team, my players were brave and we scored a great (disallowed) goal.

"Blackburn started the game very well but Chelsea pushed them back. In the last 20 minutes, our attacking was massive."

Chelsea have failed to score in their last two games and while Mourinho admits it is not good enough, he still claimed the goal against Rovers should have stood.

"We have scored one goal in the last two matches," he maintained. "One goal. For a team that has dominated possession in those two games, it is not enough, I agree. But both Villa and Blackburn defended very well."
