Tottenham boss Mourinho escapes FA punishment for 'idiot' comments

Jose Mourinho has escaped FA punishment for his comments after Tottenham's loss to Southampton on Wednesday.

Mourinho was shown a yellow card during the 1-0 defeat for a confrontation with Southampton goalkeeping coach Andrew Sparks.

Speaking about the incident, Mourinho said: "I was rude. But I was rude with an idiot. I clearly deserved the yellow card. I had bad words with the guy."

Mourinho also had some choice words for VAR, but the FA have decided not to punish him.

The Portuguese still has problems however, with Harry Kane in trouble of being sidelined for several weeks with hamstring injury.
