Sarri and Mourinho exchange words after a 2-2 draw at Stamford Bridge

Maurizio Sarri called on Chelsea fans to show Jose Mourinho more respect after the Portuguese was verbally abused by some sections of the Stamford Bridge support on Saturday.

Mourinho, who won three Premier League titles in two spells at Chelsea, gestured with three fingers towards the home crowd following the final whistle of Manchester United's 2-2 draw at Stamford Bridge.

The United manager had earlier reacted angrily to the celebrations of Chelsea assistant coach Marco Ianni after Ross Barkley's 96th-minute equaliser.
