Christiano Ronaldo is back in the goal scoring sheet with a hatrick

On a run of two goals in seven Real games and jeered by sections of the support against Athletic Club last weekend, he hit a hat-trick as Real won 4-1 in Vitoria.
Alaves in front inside six minutesIt was a scoreline that was harsh on an Alaves side who produced a lively, highly creditable performance, taking a surprise early lead through Brazilian Deyverson.

Just six minutes in, Keylor Navas and Raphael Varane failed to deal with the impressive Theo Hernández's low cross,leaving the striker to net from close range.

Cristiano turns scoreboard on its head.Ten minutes later, however, the visitors earned a disputed penalty as Deyverson was penalised for handball, and Cristiano converted from the spot to level.Real lost defender Pepe to injury before Ronaldo bagged his second with a shot that took a deflection off Alaves centre-back Zouhair Feddal.The hosts spurned a golden chance to equalise immediately after the break when Víctor Camarasa found himself one on one with Navas, only to see his effort kept out.Ronaldo penalty saved,
lovely Morata goal finishes itWith just over ten minutes remaining,Fernando Pacheco's stop prevented Cristiano from scoring another penalty after a foul by Daniel Torres,

 but soon after substitute Álvaro Morata expertly lobbed the Alaves keeper to clinch the points.

CR7 completes hat-trickRonaldo then exchanged passes in the box with Marcelo and fired in the fourth,sealing his first LaLiga treble since March - and securing a result that flattered Zinedine Zidane's men, but ensured their fifth straight win in all

The report of Real Madrid vs Alaves

Here's how it happened:
Alaves 1-4 Real Madrid: second halfPeeep! That's full time!

Min 92 | That's Cristiano's first treble for Madrid since demolishing Wolfsburg in April, and his 38th in total in Spanish football.

Min 90 | Three minutes added on. Christian Santos came on for Torres a few minutes ago, I neglected to mention.

Min 87 | Goooooal! Real make it four! Cristiano exchanges passes with Marcelo in the box and wallops it past Pacheco from by the penalty spot for his hat-trick. Ever so slightly flattering, that scoreline.

Min 86 | Bale trots off for a rest and Lucas Vázquez skips on.

Min 84 | Gooooooal! 3-1 to Real Madrid! Marcelo pings a route-one ball over the top for Morata o run onto, with Alexis giving furious but futile chase - and the striker doesn't even bother taking a touch before dinking a delightful lobbed finish over Pacheco. Wonderful finish! "Madre mía!" shouts AS's Tomás Roncero over the other side of the newsroom. Well quite, Thomas.

Min 81 | It's possibly not the best time for this, I admit. But anyway, here goes: Cristiano's goals this afternoon mean he's scored against all 31 teams he's faced in the top flight. The full story on that is here.

Min 80 | Kiko Femenía is into the book for giving the referee a little bit too much lip after a Danilo challenge on Krsticic.

Min 79 | Pacheco saves Cristiano's spot-kick! The former Real Madrid man guesses right and palms out the Portuguese's effort, which wasn't as far into the corner as he'd have liked.

Min 78 | Penalty to Real Madrid! Kroos swings over the corner and Daniel Torres is all over Cristiano! That certainly seems a clearer pen than the other one.

Min 76 | The ref clealry gives a throw-in the wrong way, awarding it to Real. Pellegrino is incandescent - and is sent to the stands! "Why?!" he can be seen mouthing.
Min 74 | He looks to be OK. 15 minutes to go, and it it stays this way it'll be five wins in a row in all competitions for Real, and six on the trot against Alaves.

Min 72 | Navas has to be quick to nip out and steal the ball from the on-rushing Deyverson's toes - but the Brazilian is flagged offside. Keylor has taken a knock for his troubles, and is in need of treatment.

Min 69 | Cristiano has clearly been watching too much of his pal Nacho in action. Kovacic crosses to the far post, where CR7 launches himself into a scissor-kick that is high wide and handsome.

Min 66 | It is indeed Benzema who is replaced by Morata, while Alaves introduce Katai for Edgar.

Min 65 | Varane plays an inch-perfect pass into the box to no-one in particular, while Morata takes a last swig of water and prepares to come on. I'm going to go out on a limb and say Karim Benzema is the chief candidate to be hooked.

Min 64 | Alaves are preparing a second sub, with Aleksandar Katai in line to be thrust into the action.

Min 62 | First change for Alaves as Krsticic comes on for Manu García.

Min 60 | Bale is the first Real Madrid player to see yellow after an ever so slightly wild lunge on Femenía. He makes furious I-got-the-ball motions with his hands, but he's fooling no-one. It's a promising position for Alaves to get it into the proverbial mixer, but Camarasa's delivery is disappointing, failing to clear the first man.

Min 59 | Álvaro Morata, Marco Asensio and Lucas Vázquez are all gamely warming up over on the touchline, while Nenad Krsticic is set to come on for Alaves.

Min 57 | Now Bale has a dig, but it's over.

Min 56 | There's a shooting opportunity for Cristiano as Kovacic wins it back high up the pitch and feeds the forward, who drifts in from the left channel and bends it wide of Pacheco's far post.

Min 54 | Close again from Alaves! Deyverson cuts inside Varane and aims a low, left-footed effort at Navas' near post, but 'the Cat' is down low and holds on.

Min 53 | Theo becomes the third Alaves man to go into the book for handling as he went down to challenge Danilo. Moments later, Kovacic fancies a crack from the edge of the box, but pumps it high.

 Min 47 | There were no changes at half time, by the way.

Min 46 | What a chance for Alaves! They should be level in the opening seconds of the half! Deyverson plays it across to Camarasa, who's arriving ten yards or so outside of the box. He absolutely does Varane, poking it past the Frenchman and finding himself one on one with Navas - but the Costa Rican saves!Peeep! The second half is underway.Alaves 1-2 Real Madrid: half-time summaryReal Madrid go in ahead, having recovered from Deyverson's opener with a brace from Cristiano Ronaldo, who'll be feeling much better about himself now. Other than their horrendously ropey defending on the home team's goal - that's now nine straight games without a clean sheet for Real - the chief blackspot from the 45 for Zinedine Zidane's men is that injury to Pepe. After Sevilla's draw at Sporting Gijón earlier today, a win will see Madrid go provisionally three points clear at the top of LaLiga, with the rest of the chasing pack still to play.Over in the Alaves dressing room, one suspects Mauricio Pellegrino is busy telling his players to get the ball to Theo Hernández as fast as they bleedin' can. The youngster terrorised the Real backline for much of that first half.Alaves 1-2 Real Madrid: first halfPeeep! That's half time in Vitoria.

Min 45 | One minute of added time. Bale has the chance to square it for Cristiano in the box, but it's blocked; the Wales man picks it up again, finds a yard of space on the edge of the area...and curls it well off target.

Min 43 | Ronaldo's brace has taken his form of two in seven to the altogether healthier-looking (if still not quite on a par with his usual, Championship Manager-esque figures) four in eight. Although if you factor in international appearances, he came into today on seven in seven and has just moved to nine in eight. Stats, eh.

Min 40 | Daniel Torres gets a yellow card for a hand-off on Isco that Paul Gascoigne would have been proud of. Up the other end, Cristiano is now brimming with confidence and tries his luck from range - unsuccessfully so, though.

Min 37 | Feddal rises highest for Alaves to head a corner from the right towards goal...but it's well wide.

Min 36 | That's Ronaldo's first double of the season and takes him to four LaLiga goals.

Min 34 | Gooooal to Real Madrid! Cristiano gets his second and Los Blancos have turned it around! He picks it up in the right channel outside of the box, gets it out of his feet, and - via a fairly juicy deflection off Feddal's foot - beats Pacheco and finds the far corner!

Min 31 | The man given his marching orders by the fellow in black (well, pinkish red) was one of Pellegrino's assistants, our colleagues on Spanish TV tell us.

Min 30 | Deyverson is the first player this season to have scored against both Real Madrid and Barcelona, notes the ever-insightful OptaJose .

Min 29 | Theo again wreaks unbridled havoc on the left, and earns Alaves a corner - but Alexis can't quite get on the end of it.

Min 28 | Ufff! Marcelo fires it low into the box from the byline, but a blue and white shirt gets there first to clear at the near post. Alaves then break forward with menace down the right, but Varane beats Camarasa to Edgar's cross.

Min 25 | I've looked at a couple of replays of that penalty decision, and I confess I ain't sure what to say. It seems to strike Deyverson's head and a bit of elbow, so I guess by the letter of the law it's a pen. But that's seeing it for the third or fourth time in slow motion; watching it in real time, the contact with his arm is barely discernible.

Min 22 | Nacho Fernández is preparing to come on, and it's Pepe who's the man with the problem. On trots Real's Hugo Sánchez impersonator.

Min 20 | Now Alaves are asking for a penalty, but this time the ref says nope. Theo - who has had Danilo on toast so far - bursts past the Brazilian on the left, he sticks his foot, Theo falls...but it's only a corner - which is headed over. Meanwhile, someone on the Alaves bench - I didn't quite see who - is told to do one to the stands for his protests.Min 17 | Cristiano strides up to it, and sends Pacheco the wrong way! 1-1 at Mendizorroza!

Min 16 | Real win a free-kick just to the right of centre, and Bale is standing over it. He runs up, it hits the wall...and the referee has given a penalty! Handball against Deyverson! And a yellow card for his troubles! The Alaves players are absolutely fuming.

Min 15 | Bale almost found the head of Cristiano with one of his Delap/Challiner-esque long throws there, but the Portuguese couldn't quite get on the end of it.

Min 13 | Theo is causing Madrid all kinds of trouble down the left. He whips in another cross with his left for the head of Edgar Méndez - but he nods across the face of Navas' goal and wide.Min 12 | Bale has the ball in the net...but it won't count! Isco fed the run of the Welshman, who cut inside and fired in low past Fernando Pacheco, but he was offside when he received the pass.Min 9 | Theo immediately gets another crossing chance, but sends it long and high.
 Min 7 | Goooooal! Alaves take the lead! The hosts hit Real with a lighting break! Camarasa feeds Theo Hernández motoring forward on the left, and the on-loan Atlético man pins a low cross into the middle. Keylor Navas and Raphael Varane make an almight hash of it, leaving the ball to fall for Deyverson waiting at the back post, and the Brazilian takes a touch before driving into the unguarded net! Well, well, well.

A message travels through Atlanta, and return 50 years later

   A message in a bottle sent nearly 50 years ago from New Hampshire has made its way back home, after it traveled more than 1,000 miles to a small island in the Caribbean.The old glass Coke bottle with a folded message inside turned up in Turks andCaicos in 2011. Clint Buffington from Salt Lake City, Utah told ABC News he found it while vacationing there.The cryptic message inside said, "Return to 419 Ocean Boulevard and receive a reward of $150 from Tina, the owner of Beachcomber."Buffington has been hunting and collecting bottles with messages as a hobby since 2007. So far, he has collected more than 80. But this one led him on a special quest."I've never given one back to someone," he told ABC News. "But in this case I knew it was the right thing to do. Just imagine it was a letter from your parents."Buffington said he made it his mission to try and find "Tina," or her family, to return the message and collect the reward.
"I didn’t know if Beachcomber was the name of a boat or a restaurant," Buffington said. "I went through google maps but I didn’t know what I was seeing."Finding the family also proved difficult because "there is an Ocean Boulevard in every state on the coast," he said.Buffington wrote about finding the bottle on his blog, which is about his adventures in message-in-a-bottle collecting, in 2011. He even created an online poll where people could guess what the "Beachcomber" was.Eventually, after a lot of online research and speaking to the county clerk and the tax assessor, Buffington found the original deed of sale for the piece of land that became the Beachcomber Motel. The property was owned by Paul and Tina Tsiatsios of Hampton, New Hampshire.Paul and Tina had since passed away, but he was able to track down their daughter, Paula Pierce, who was still in New Hampshire.Although he made contact with Paula a few years ago, he said he wasn't able to travel to New Hampshire until this year. "I wasn't going to trust this with the mail," he added.On Monday, Buffington finally arrived in New Hampshire and returned the message Pierce, an estimated fifty years after her father dropped it in the ocean.Boy Discovers 45-Year-Old Love Letter In Bottle Addressed to His GrandfatherChildhood Time Capsule Returned to Owner 67 Years LaterPierce couldn't believe it when she saw the 50-year-old letter that her father wrote, she told ABC News. She said her father passed away in December of 1990 and her mother passed away earlier, in November of 1980."My father wasn’t a good speller, so there were a few misspellings in it: He misspelled received, boulevard, and beachcomber," Pierce said. "We don’t know if it was on purpose so he could deny responsibility, or if it was a mistake."Pierce said that she didn't know about the letter in a bottle, but that her husband knew about it this whole time."My father secretly told my husband, who I have known since 1969. He told my husband that he did this soon after he bought the motel, which they did in 1960," Pierce said. "My husband never told any of us."Her father, Paul, did it as a way of showing affection to her mother, Tina, she thinks. "It was a very sweet gesture, he was trying to tease her," Pierce said.Paul was very proud of Tina for running the Beachcomber Motel, she said, but he was also teasing her with the amount of the reward."The joke part of it was that rooms were going for 15 or 20 dollars a night back then, and that was a lot," Pierce said. "So 150 dollars was a lot of money back then."Pierce said she gave Buffington the $150 reward in cash; she thought it was the right thing to do. "It is like completing the circle."

Mourinho charged over comment made by him to a referee

Mourinho charged over referee commentsLondon - Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho was on Thursday charged with misconduct over comments he made about the referee in charge of this month's Liverpool game, the Football Association has announced.United's outspoken Portuguese boss faces a disciplinary hearing after questioning referee Anthony Taylor's suitability to take charge of the October 17 game at Anfield.The Altrincham-based official's appointment for the Premier League derby had led former English top flight referee Keith Hackett to claim the appointment would place undue pressure on Taylor.And when those comments were put to Mourinho ahead of the match, the United boss said: "I think Mr Taylor is a very good referee but I think somebody with intention is putting such a pressure on him that I feel that it will be difficult for him to have a very good performance."The FA released a statement confirming: "Jose Mourinho has been charged with misconduct in respect of comments he made relating to the appointed match referee, prior to the Liverpool v Manchester United fixture on Monday 17 October 2016."It is alleged his comments were improper and/or brought the game into disrepute contrary to FA Rule E3(1)."Mourinho has until Monday to respond to the charge, the governing body added.New rules were introduced in 2009 in an attempt to crack down on pre-match comments about officials which could be viewed as intimidatory or influential.After the drab goalless draw Mourinho praised the performance of Taylor, whose four bookings in the match all went to United players."Can I speak about the referee without being punished?" he asked the club's press officer.After being given the go-ahead, the Portuguese added: "He had a good game and I am happy for him because people with responsibilities put a lot of pressure on him and it was very difficult for him to have a good performance, which he had."When manager of Chelsea Mourinho was given a suspended stadium ban and a £50 000 fine for his critical comments about referee Robert Madley after Chelsea's defeat at home to Southampton on October 3, 2015.

Jose mourinho humbled by United fans support.

Manchester - Jose Mourinho lauded Manchester United's supporters after his team put the disappointment of their 4-0 humiliation at Chelsea behind them to sink Manchester City in England's League Cup.Sunday's defeat at Chelsea, Mourinho's former club, was United's worst in the league for five years, but they bounced back to beat holders City 1-0 on Wednesday courtesy of Juan Mata's 54th-minute goal.Mourinho made a gesture of apology to United's fans at the end - making a '4-0' symbol with his fingers and lowering his head - and said he had been moved by their backing."We were on a good run of results, but it was a big defeat," said the United manager, whose side had gone six games unbeaten prior to coming off the rails at Stamford Bridge."(They are) numbers that the history of this club doesn't deserve and when I'm in a club my heart belongs to the fans and I felt deeply for them. The reality is that I never had people like these ones."We lost 4-0 and they were supportive. Today the stadium was full of real support and it looks like the love people have for the club is bigger than bad results, bigger than three bad seasons."We must give something back. The players gave everything, but even if we'd lost the feeling was fantastic because the players showed they really care and they fought for the fans."Mourinho spoke to television reporters after the game at Old Trafford, but did not appear at his post-match press conference. United did not offer an explanation.While Mourinho made just four changes to his starting XI, his opposite number, Pep Guardiola, made nine.Both teams disappointed in a drab first half, but it was United who seized the advantage after the break, with Mata sweeping home Zlatan Ibrahimovic's low cross after Paul Pogba had hit the post.City captain Vincent Kompany, one of only two players to keep his place from Sunday's 1-1 draw against Southampton, was substituted at half-time.The Belgian centre-back has been dogged by injuries in recent seasons and Guardiola said he had not felt able to play on."He told us he is tired and not ready to play the second half," explained Guardiola, whose side beat Liverpool on penalties in last season's final prior to his arrival."The important thing is after two years (repeatedly) injured, he played three days ago 70 minutes, today 45 and no injuries."That is a good step, the first step. After we have to see. He felt not good, knowing what happened in the past."Guardiola has now gone six games without victory for the first time in his managerial career, but he said he had "no regrets" about selecting a weakened team."Sometimes it happens in football the managers doesn't win," he said."It is the first time. OK, hopefully it does not happen again, but it is part of our profession. Sometimes you win and sometimes you lose."Asked if he had learnt anything during his team's slump, he replied: "The same as when we won 10 games in a row (at the start of the season)."Every match is different. I need to analyse them all. Every team has streaks of good results and bad results. The strange thing is after seven years as a manager, it happens now."But we are still getting to know each other, still improving and we will (improve)."United will host West Ham United in the quarter-finals.

eagle will try and exploit Algerian defense

Nigeria was able to put two goals past Zambia in Ndola a few weeks back and will hope to do more when Match Day Two of the 2018 Fifa World Cup qualifiers resume.The Super Eagles will host Les Fennecs of Algeria at the Akwa Ibom International Stadium in Uyo [ below ]

looking to take another giant step towards qualifying for a third World Cup on the bounce.It was all guns blazing in the first half against the Chipolopolo as Alexander Iwobi and Kelechi Iheanacho put the Zambians to the sword. A lot will be required of Nigeria’s attackers when they come up against Algeria who are now in a race against time to get ready for the battle in Uyo.Foxes defence no longer imperviousDefensively, Algeria hasn't been the same since the exit of Majid Bougherra and Rafik Halliche who have been the rock which the Foxes defence was built. Both were outstanding as Algeria quietly went about their business to become the number one team in Africa a few years back. In as much as they have been knocked off their perch in the last Fifa rankings as 2015 AFCON winners Ivory Coast took away the number one spot , sitting at number three, the Foxes want to avoild any further slippingIt isn’t rocket science to note that Les Fennecs greatest strength is in midfield and attack. The likes of Sofiane Feghouli, Riyad Mahrez, Islam Slimani and Adlène Guedioura all have excellent creative abilities but the defence is where Algeria have faltered recently.In fact the Algerians were so sloppy that the Indomitable Lions coach Hugo Broos fumed when his team was unable to convert more of the myriad of chances they had, and walk away with a win. He pointed out that the North Africans played uncoordinated in the back, and were repeatedly caught out of position. Persistence did finally pay off as his strikers were able to hit true because his runners did not give up, and weren’t afraid to go at the two centre backs Liasinne Camaduro and skipper Carl Medjani [ below ] .

The latter has bags of experience and is a leader on and off the pitch but isn’t exactly the fastest centre back around and at 31, might be losing a bit of sharpness that he has exhibited over time. This might be a cue to Super Eagles coach Gernot Rohr to look at how to set up his attack and attack the spaces between the central defence area. The full backs are quite solid but the Eagles need to find a way to get past them.Napoli’s Faouzi Ghoulam at left back for Les Fennecs will be a formidable task for whoever is up against the 25-year-old. Very strong aerially and in the tackle, he will be a tough nut to crack but if Nigeria’s wingers have a good day then it will be joy for Nigerians. Mehdi Zeffane started at right back in the last game against Cameroon and had a decent game even though Cameroon’s equaliser came from the right channel. He is quite adept defensively and always joins in the attack when needed.Speed will remain Nigeria's not so secret weaponAlgeria is usually lined up with Mahrez on the right side of attack due to his ability to cut in from and do damage with his fantastic left foot and because most of Algeria’s attacking threat comes from the Leicester City man, it means Zeffane usually sits deep to provide protection. This again can play into the Eagles hands if they can exploit the spaces in midfield areas to have a go at the centre backs one on one.The pace of Ahmed Musa, Moses Simon or Victor Moses will be a major weapon if Algeria insists on using the same system they used against Cameroon. Algeria, needing to get their campaign back on track after picking only a point in Bilda will arguably be more offensive on match day in Uyo.This should suit Nigeria well as space will appear in the midfield areas and final third which the Eagles should do well to exploit.Chances will be few and far in-between so the Eagles have to be clinical in front of goal if they are to get the three points at stake.Their finishing certainly has to be better than it was against Tanzania and Zambia - no doubt.Ahmed Musa has finally found his rhythm in the BPL according to his coach Raineri. Nigeria will expect a big game from the speedster come game day.That being said, Algeria might still line up differently in defence as Assai Mandi should be back to stuff up the right back position which was exploited by Cameroon.

Hichem Belkaroui is also expected to be in reckoning to partner skipper Carl Medjani in the centre of defence after missing out of the game against the Indomitable Lions. Algeria will definitely tweak their defence for the away game to Nigeria as they try to steady their ship.No coach big worriesThe defence won’t be the only issue Algeria have to contend with. There is the little matter of who will lead the team to Nigeria for the game after Milovan Rajevac’s departure after the 1-1 draw with Cameroon.The Serbian quit his post after the 1-1 draw against Cameroon earlier this month and the Football Federation Algeria have been looking for coach since then.His departure was said to be due to a player mutiny even though that has been denied by the Algerian football authorities. The 62-year-old only replaced Frenchman Christian Gourcuff in April and was in charge for only two games.Les Fennecs will have their third coach in a year-just like the Super Eagles when Match Day Two of the 2018 Fifa World Cup qualifiers hits the surface of the Akwa Ibom International Stadium in Uyo in November.

Pres. Buhari Will Surprise Nigerians in 2017

The Minister of Industry, Trade and Investment, Dr. Okechukwu Enalamah, yesterday, said the results of the efforts by the President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration will surprise Nigerians in 2017.The minister, who was in Abeokuta, Ogun State capital spoke with newsmen at the 8th Session of the National Council on Industry, Trade and Investment.Enalamah said the Federal government is strifing to  end the current economic recession.He said:”You will start seeing result at the end of this year and early next year. As far as I am concerned, next year is a year of results. All the work we are doing will start yielding results from this quarter.“The level of delivery in 2017 will suprise everybody. People may be saying we are not doing anything but it is impossible for a man to start broadcasting a plan we haven’t really put together well.”The Minister however, stated that the strategic focus of the ministry’s master plan for Diversification and Growth of the Nigerian Economy is: “Partnering with Private and Development Capital to Leverage and Catalyze Resources for diversification and growth.”According to the Minister, ”The challenge in every economy is that of infinite demands and finite resources. With limited resources therefore, the Diversification and Growth plan, otherwise known as the MITI Plan is based on a partnership with the private sector.”He emphasized that based on resource constraints and low price of commodities, including oil, it is an urgent necessity to partner with the private sector so as to leverage and catalyse resources and development capital.According to him, President Muhammadu Buhari has approved the establishment of the Presidential Council on Ease-of Doing Business (PEBES). We, as Nigerians, must see the connection. The global perception is that this country is a tough environment in which to do business. We must change this negative perception. Positive perceptions will attract investors, capital, technology and best practices.Enelamah explained that already, we are seeing results of these efforts at the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC), a parastatal under the Ministry, with the 24-hour online registration of businesses.

That moment when your mind is racing and all you can think about is how much longer before you can get food to eat. The crazy things hunger can do to someone.Simple things can become difficult when you’re hungry. Some others will snap at every little thing.Hunger can make people do the most unusual things. Like they say, ‘a hungry man is an angry man’.Below are some things Nigerians do when they are hungry.

3. The weird food combinationSome people can come up with the strangest food combinations you would never think to try in your life.

.5. Your enemy becomes your friendWhen someone you’re mad at offers you food and it becomes so impossible to stay mad at them

.6. Anywhere, any position is just fineWhen the food comes, some Nigerians can eat it standing, walking or squatting. Their environment does not even matter.

7. Scrap every last bit of foodSome people will make sure no single grain of rice is left in the plate. Some would even make use of their tongue.

8. How a hungry Nigerian eats chickenBy the time a hungry man attacks the chicken, you’ll be looking for the bones.

Manchester United Thumped at Stamford Bridge 4-0

Manchester United manager accuses Antonio Conte of trying to humiliate himMourinho infuriated by opposite number’s response to fourth goal José MourinhoAntonio Conte Manchester UnitedChelseaJosé Mourinho, left, and Antonio Conte after Chelsea’s 4-0 win over Manchester United; both managers chose not to elaborate on what was said. Photograph: Jed Leicester/BPI/Rex/ShutterstockDominic Fifield at Stamford Bridge@domfifieldSunday 23 October 2016 21.36 BSTJosé Mourinho accused Antonio Conte of trying to humiliate him as he endured his worst defeat in English football on his return to Chelsea, and tensions spilled over into the tunnel post-match as back-room staff members of both clubs clashed.Manchester United conceded after just 30 seconds to Pedro Rodríguez and succumbed 4-0 at Stamford Bridge , potentially losing their centre-half Eric Bailly to a serious knee injury en route, with Mourinho berating his team’s “incredible mistakes” at the back. The Portuguese had been infuriated by Conte’s attempts to whip up the home support after N’Golo Kanté scored Chelsea’s fourth goal, and confronted his opposite number as they shook hands at the final whistle.Mourinho, speaking in Italian, appeared to tell Conte he should behave like that “at 1-0, not at 4-0”, and suggested he had actually been seeking to humiliate him in front of his former fans. Conte denied that had been his motivation, explaining post‑match that he had simply been seeking to generate a positive reaction from the crowd after his team’s most impressive performance to date under his stewardship. However, when a member of the United coaching staff ignored Conte’s outstretched hand as they turned to retreat down the tunnel, it provoked a heated argument with a member of the Italian’s own back-room team.Both managers choose not to elaborate on their post-match conversation to the media, but neither denied the version of events, picked up on Italian television, when it was put to them. “I think that a private conversation must remain private,” Conte said. “If someone discover something, OK ... but for me the private conversation remains private.“I think that, today, it was right to call on our fans in a moment when I could only hear the supporters of Manchester United [singing] at 4-0. So I called the fans to give the players a great clap after this kind of performance. The players deserved that.“We live with emotions. If you want to cut the emotions, we can stay at home and I will change jobs. It’s important for our fans to push in every moment of the game. When the players deserve it after this performance, it’s right to receive a great clap from the fans.”Mourinho had regularly called upon the crowd at Stamford Bridge to be more raucous in his second spell at the club, which ended with his dismissal in December 2015 when his ailing team were hovering a point above the relegation zone.“You know me: I spoke to Conte, not to you,” the United manager said when asked about the incident. “I’m not the kind of guy to come here and share with you things I don’t want to share. What is between me and Antonio is for us ... or up to him to talk if he wants to. That is his problem. I have no comment.”United, who have not won in London for 17 months, are five points worse off after nine games than they were under Louis van Gaal last season. “I’m not disappointed with the performance, but with the mistakes,” Mourinho said. “If we could delete the defensive mistakes, the performance was good. But when my teams have perfection in their defensive performances, people say that is not important. But the reality is that it is important.“We made an incredible defensive mistake, I say incredible in capitals, in the first minute and then the game is different. It is one of those days when you give the advantage to opponents by doing nothing.“We put ourselves in a situation where we gave Chelsea the game they wanted to play: the block compact and low, as it was in the second half, and wait for the chances on the counter-attack. Football matches start at 0-0, this match started 1-0.” The home crowd only chorused Mourinho, who claimed three Premier League titles in his two spells at the club, once their team led by four goals.Yet Chelsea’s players, who are now a point off the top of the Premier League, clearly delighted in the victory against their former manager and posted a number of photographs on social media showing the entire squad celebrating in the dressing room after the victory.“It’s right to celebrate when you win,” Conte said. “When you work very hard and win, it’s important to celebrate. But I prefer to win a war, not a battle. I have already told my players that United is in the past.“Now we must be focused on Wednesday because there is another important, tough game against West Ham [in the League Cup]. It’s important to celebrate this evening, but then to start to focus on another game.”
