Roma 2-2 Bodo/Glimt: Jose Mourinho fumes at referees AGAIN for denying his side two penalties as they rescue a draw against the Norwegian side thanks to late Roger Ibanez goal in Europa Conference League encounter
- Roma could only manage a draw at home against Norwegian side Bodo/Glimt
- Twice the unfancied visitors went ahead, but Jose Mourinho’s side levelled
- Roger Ibanez scored with six minutes left to snatch a draw for the Giallorossi
- And Mourinho slammed the refereeing showing after being denied two penalties
Jose Mourinho has once more hit out at referees following his side’s 2-2 Europa Conference League draw against Bodo/Glimt.
Roma came from behind twice against the unfancied Norwegian side at the Stadio Olimpico on Thursday evening, with Mourinho feeling his team were denied two penalties.
And with no VAR in Europe’s third-tier competition, the Portuguese furiously slammed the officials after the match.
Jose Mourinho has once again slammed referees after his side’s 2-2 draw against Bodo/Glimt
Roma’s Roger Ibanez scored a late equaliser in Thursday’s Europa Conference League clash
He told Sky Sports Italia: ‘The result is harsh. The two penalties were clear as day. Clear as day… The reality is 2-2, they had two shots on target and two goals. We scored two goals and had two clear penalties denied.
‘I don’t know if they get referees who are poor and starting their careers for the (Europa) Conference League. I didn’t say anything about the referee in Norway, because we lost 6-1, but here the two penalties were clear.
‘It’s true, (Nicolo) Zaniolo and (Tammy) Abraham are not in good shape. Only (Stephan) El Shaarawy is doing well in attack at the moment, (Eldor) Shomurodov did fairly well off the bench.
But Giallorossi boss Mourinho (pictured) slammed the denial of two penalties during the match
‘We can look at those pragmatic statistics, but how many points did we lose because of refereeing errors? Look at the games with Juventus, Milan and Bodo/Glimt.’
Roma twice went behind after goals from Ola Solbakken and Erik Botheim, but twice levelled via El Shaarawy and, with five minutes left, Roger Ibanez to leave them second in Group C with seven points, one point and one place behind Bodo in first.
Mourinho’s side, who have now only won once in their last seven games in all competitions, face Venezia away from home on Sunday in Serie A – where they currently lie fourth – in their last match before the international break.
