Chelsea management BLANKED the post-match press conference for last night's draw with Everton.

Chelsea boss Luiz Felipe Scolari refused to discuss his side's goalless draw.

The Brazilian, as well as the rest of his management team, kept their silence after a controversial game that saw captain John Terry sent off and ended with Liverpool still top of the table.

Scolari was furious with referee Phil Dowd at half-time after England skipper Terry had been red-carded for a high tackle on Leon Osman.

Scolari kept his opinions to himself afterwards, and will now lose Terry for the next three matches.

A Chelsea spokesman said: "None of the management team feel able to come up for a press conference.

"They had issues with a number of decisions and felt that they could well get themselves into trouble if they did speak."

Chelsea are likely to be in trouble with the Premier League for their no-show at the press conference and can expect to be fined.
