Luiz Felipe Scolari has condemned the red card shown to the John Terry in Chelsea's draw with Everton on Monday as "not normal". England skipper Terry was sent off for a high challenge on Leon Osman and must now serve a three-match ban.

Boss Scolari, who did not attend the post-match press conference, told ChelseaTV: "Maybe I look at the game and I change my mind, but I don't change my mind about (Monday).

"I looked at the game again and I don't change. It's the same as I thought (then). For me, it's not normal. I don't very well understand the decision.

"But he's the referee. After (the red card), John, he goes to his friend (Osman) to apologise, he goes off like normal. He's a very good captain, he accepts the decision from the referee."

Scolari confirmed he declined to comment after the match because he was angered by the decision from referee Phil Dowd and feared saying something that would get him into trouble with the Football Association.

"If I go to say something (straight after the game) maybe I say something wrong and I need more time to look at everything," he continued.

"I have to look at the game again, if something happened in the game. I need to be sure about this or that. I said no (to the press) at that time because maybe I'd have problems in the future - in that time I am not calm.

"If I go then I answer some questions and I'm angry."
