Jose Mourinho Sent to the Stands vs. West Ham United: Latest Details, Reaction

Jose Mourinho's personal war with the English Football Association has taken another turn, after the Chelsea boss was sent off by referee Jonathan Moss during his side's London derby against West Ham United in the Premier League, a game the Blues lost 2-1, per BBC Sport's Chris Bevan.

Mourinho was sent to the stands with his team trailing 1-0 at the break. Chelsea had been reduced to 10 men when midfield enforcer Nemanja Matic was dismissed after picking up two yellow cards.

A member of Chelsea's coaching staff was also sent from the bench amid this incident.

It appeared as though Mourinho was forced to follow him, according to Sunday Times reporter Duncan Castles:

BBC Sport soon confirmed Mourinho received his marching orders from Moss:

ESPN's Miguel Delaney noted the increasingly under-fire Chelsea boss was watching events from a distance in the second half:

Meanwhile, sports commentator Ian Abrahams confirmed a Chelsea staff member had indeed also been sent packing:

Clearly irked by that call, Mourinho apparently tried to enter the referees room to complain at the break, according to Fox Soccer:

Castles immediately referenced Mourinho's war of words with Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger:

Castles was referring to Mourinho's gripe about Wenger escaping FA punishment for calling Mike Dean "weak and naive" following Chelsea's 2-0 win over the Gunners at Stamford Bridge. His anger was piqued when Mourinho found himself subject to punishment for comments he made after Chelsea lost 3-1 at home to Southampton.

Reports from the Telegraph's Matt Law suggested Mourinho planned to reference Wenger's words whenever he could.

Match of the Day host and BT Sport pundit Gary Lineker wasted no time suggesting Mourinho will use these decisions to fuel his argument there is a referee's conspiracy against his team:

Perhaps already having one eye on Match of the Day's viewing figures, Lineker also anticipated a very spiky performance in front of the camera from Chelsea's embattled gaffer:

That's now more likely after Andy Carroll headed in a late winner for the Hammers. From his newly enforced perch, Mourinho appeared far from happy, according to Squawka:

Mourinho's attempts to distract from his team's struggles at the start of this season are starting to wear thin. His antics are no longer parlour games.

The last thing Chelsea need is another chapter of their standoff with the FA to be played out in the public eye.
