When Ross Barkley slammed home an equaliser against Manchester United in October 2018, the Chelsea staff and players were, understandably, ecstatic. However, when the Blues' first-team coach Marco Ianni ran along the touchline to celebrate - goading Mourinho as he walked back to his seat - things quickly took an unexpected turn.
It was Chelsea who had dominated the first half at Stamford Bridge, and United were struggling to get out of their own half. Maurizio Sarri's men were extremely well-coached and Mourinho's men were finding it difficult to compete with the London club. With that in mind, then, it was inevitable when the Blues took the lead before the half-time break, with Antonio Rudiger heading home from close range.
David de Gea was in good form and had made a number of smart saves to deny Chelsea, but it felt as though United were going to concede again. Despite the pressure that the Reds were under, it was actually Mourinho's side who grabbed the next goal to level proceedings in the second period. Ashley Young's cross deflected off Jorginho and then Marcus Rashford, before Anthony Martial calmly converted past Kepa Arrizabalaga.
