Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has insisted that the late penalty his team got over West Bromwich Albion to ensure a draw was legitimate.

According to the Mirror, Mourinho has shrugged off suggestions that midfielder Ramires dived to win Chelsea a stoppage-time penalty.

Eden Hazard knocked home from 12 yards to steal the Blues a point but despite protests from West Brom the Portuguese stood firm, the report said.

Mourinho said that he did not think it was a penalty, as he knew that it was, adding that Andre Marriner was one of the best referees in Europe.
