was sent off for a second time in a month as his Manchester United side drew against West Ham at Old Trafford.

The Portuguese boss kicked a water bottle in reaction to referee Jon Moss showing Paul Pogba a yellow card for diving. Replays showed West Ham’s Mark Noble did not make contact with the France midfielder.

Mourinho, sent off by Mark Clattenbur­g during last month’s 0-0 draw at home to Burnley, got his marching orders from the official moments later. Moss also dismissed him in October 2015, when Mourinho was in charge of Chelsea.

The touchline drama came after two goals in the first quarter of the match.

The Hammers took the lead in the second minute when Diafra Sakho headed in from Dimitri Payet’s free-kick. Zlatan Ibrahimovi­c was partly at fault for the goal but made amends in the 21st minute when he nodded in from Pogba’s dinked delivery.

Charlie Austin scored after just 41 seconds to earn Southampto­n a first win in five Premier League games as Everton boss Ronald Koeman suffered a disappoint­ing return to St Mary’s Stadium.

Koeman, who was given a mixed reception on his return to the club he left in June, saw his side miss numerous chances to equalise.

The best fell to Idrissa Gueye but the former Aston Villa midfielder blazed over after Seamus Coleman’s cut-back. The win lifts Southampto­n up to 10th in the Premier League table, two points behind seventh-placed Everton.
