Jose Mourinho faces FA charge but Chelsea stand by their man

Chelsea manager José Mourinho faces a misconduct charge from the Football Association over comments he made after the 3-1 defeat to Southampton.

The under-pressure Chelsea boss, who was given the backing of the club in an official statement yesterday, was later charged by the FA over his comments about referee Robert Madley.

The Premier League champions lie 16th in the table after a poor run which saw them suffer a fourth defeat in eight games on Saturday.
