Jose Mourinho Slams Antonio Rudiger After Heung-Min Son Red Card vs. Chelsea

Tottenham Hotspur manager Jose Mourinho has hit out at Chelsea defender Antonio Rudiger after Heung-Min Son was sent off in the Premier League clash between the two teams Sunday.

Following a VAR review, Son was given his marching orders after a tangle with the Blues star as he swiped his feet towards Rudiger's stomach.

The dismissal compounded what was a dismal day for Tottenham, as they were beaten 2-0 by their London rivals on home soil. Afterwards, Mourinho said his team's performance was below par and joked about the reaction of Rudiger in the incident that led to Son's dismissal, per Sky Sports (h/t Goal):

"I hope Rudiger will recover from broken ribs because he will have broken ribs for sure.
