Tottenham boss Jose Mourinho did not hold back regarding the referee after his side lost 1-0 to Chelsea at home.
The result marked the first time a Mourinho team has lost two straight games at home in the league.
Rather than speaking about his side's performance, Mourinho chose to focus on the official, who awarded a penalty to Chelsea after a foul from Eric Dier on Timo Werner.
"It was a bit of a struggle but how many chances did they have? We didn't have the ball, correct, we didn't create in the first half, correct," the Portuguese told BT Sport.
"But the struggle was the penalty. In the end a penalty decides the game. In the end they score a penalty which is not a penalty that you say is a dangerous situation, one on one, almost scoring. It's a penalty that is difficult to accept and to lose the game like this is a bit painful.
"But in the second half we were different and Lucas [Moura] and [Erik] Lamela helped to change the dynamic. The feeling I have is that we kept together until the end. To finish with a positive spirit helps.
"Vinicius is a player with an incredible spirit but his understanding of how to press is something he's still not comfortable with. Then in the second half it was much more difficult for them, we pressed them much better and higher and in the second half I believe we deserved a little bit more."
