Jose Mourinho demands "explanation" and "respect" in furious Roma outburst

Jose Mourinho has demanded that Roma receive an "explanation" for decisions that went against them in their bruising 2-0 defeat to Fiorentina on Monday.

The Giallorossi, not so fresh from reaching the Europa Conference League final last week, extended their winless run in Serie A to four games by conceding twice in the opening 11 minutes at the Stadio Artemio Franchi. Fiorentina's first goal came from a penalty just five minutes in, as Nico Gonzalez tucked home after going down easily under a challenge from Roma wing-back Rick Karsdorp.

Referee Marco Guida was instructed to review his decision on the pitch-side monitor and despite little contact, pointed to the spot. The controversial call left Mourinho seething - not for the first time this season - demanding more "respect" for his team, who were inspired by star striker Tammy Abraham in their hard-fought 1-0 victory over Leicester City last Thursday which pits them against Feyenoord for the final in Tirana, Albania on Wednesday, May 25.
