Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho has defended Branislav Ivanovic against diving claims.

West Ham boss Sam Allardyce accused Blues defender Ivanovic of going down too easily after a first-half tussle with Andy Carroll in the Hammers box.

But Mourinho backed his man, saying: "I think it's a penalty.

'The other guy grabs him if you look at it on television. But it was an isolated situation."
