Jose Mourinho: "It is difficult for the team that is winning to accept because you are waiting for the last whistle and the penalty comes. But a penalty is a penalty, whether it is minute 94 or minute one. This one was a penalty. From the bench, I did not know, I was too far away, but from looking at the [replay] screen, there are no doubts. After their second goal, our reaction could have been we die or we fight for life, and the team fought for life and threw everything into attack. Penalties are easy to score in training sessions - I score - as they are when you are winning 3-0 or 4-0, but this was a difficult one and the kid [Hazard] was very calm.”

Steve Clarke: "I am flabbergasted at the decision, I cannot believed the referee gave it [the injury-time penalty]. What is the point (of talking to the referee)? I cannot change the decision. He (Ramires) started going down early before the contact, so you guys can put a label on it if you want. For me the onus is on the referee to make the correct decision and he did not make it. The referee has to be 100 per cent sure it is a penalty, and how he can be 100 per cent sure in that instance is beyond me. It was a bad decision."
