'A fantastic game ruined' - Mourinho fumes at officials after Roma edged by Lazio in derby

The Portuguese saw his side fight back from a two-goal deficit twice in pursuit of a draw, but was left fuming after a defeat

Jose Mourinho has branded the quality of the match officials for Roma's clash with Lazio as "not at the right level" after his side were edged in a five-goal thriller in Serie A on Sunday.

The Portuguese saw his side fight back from a two-goal deficit twice in pursuit of a share of the points, only to fall 3-2 against Maurizio Sarri's side in the Rome derby.

Across a typically feisty encounter, referee Marco Guida dished out six bookings - but speaking afterwards, Mourinho stated that he felt the match was undone by his grip on the whistle.
