Mourinho and Karsdorp: what happened?

Sports Brief had earlier reported that Mourinho did not hold criticism back for one specific player, during his post-match interview after Roma endured a frustrating 1-1 draw against Sassuolo on November 9.

Roma looked to be on course for victory after Tammy Abraham scored his first Serie A goal since September, with a brilliant header in the 80th minute.

However, it was Sassuolo who had the last laugh, as Andrea Pinamonti scored five minutes later from a swift counter-attack to bring the match to a 1-1 draw.
