Mourinho Our Quality Level Was Very Low as Roma Loses 3-1 to AC Milan (Video Highlights)

Jose Mourinho was left gesticulating in apparent disapproval after two grievous errors from his Roma players handed AC Milan a 3-1 win in Serie A on Thursday.

First, striker Tammy Abraham stuck out his arm to block a shot that resulted in a penalty for Milan, then defender Roger Ibañez made an errant back pass that was intercepted by Olivier Giroud, which led to the Rossoneri’s second goal just 17 minutes in.

Giroud converted the penalty and Junior Messias scored Milan’s second on a rebound after Giroud’s effort hit the post. Abraham then pulled one back for Roma with a deflection but Milan goalkeeper Mike Maignan maintained the Rossoneri’s advantage with a series of difficult saves.

With Roma down to 10 men, Rafael Leão restored Milan’s two-goal advantage after being set up with a chested pass from fellow substitute Zlatan Ibrahimović to sprint in alone toward goal. Ibrahimović then had a penalty attempt saved by Rui Patrício.

Mourinho questioned decisions by referee Daniele Chiffi and VAR official Gianluca Aureliano.

“Our quality level on the pitch was very low,” Mourinho said. “But I don’t understand what Chiffi did on the pitch and what Aureliano did as the VAR. Maybe (Aureliano) wanted to be on the pitch whereas he should have stayed where he was, in his office, and drunk a tear or a beer so as not to become the protagonist.”
