JOSE MOURINHO was sent off in “vintage” style after Roma scored a last-gasp winner to beat Monza.
Stephan El Shaarawy netted in the 90th minute to seal a 1-0 win as they found a way through their ten-man opponents.

The goal sparked jubilant scenes at the Stadio Olimpico and Mourinho fell to his knee while punching the air in the technical area.
His emotions then boiled over in typical fashion as he took exception to something said earlier by Monza’s bench.
The ex-Chelsea, Manchester United and Tottenham boss looked at his opposite number and mimicked them talking.
He then mocked Raffaele Palladino’s side by pretending he was crying by rubbing his eyes.
Mourinho’s own coaches chose to pull him away as he sat back down in the dugout.
However, as he took his seat, he was greeted with a red card before calmly walking down the tunnel.
Fans found the 60-year-old’s antics hilarious, one said: “Vintage Mourinho red card.”
Another added: “The Special One for a reason. My GOAT.”

A third reacted: “The current version of Mourinho is more subdued but every once in a while he throws in some OG Mourinho like we’re in 2008 again.”
The Portuguese gaffer’s red card means he will not be on the San Siro touchline next week as Roma face his former club Inter Milan.
The same happened last year after storming onto the pitch in the previous game versus Atalanta.
He therefore decided to watch last year’s match against Inter on the team bus.
One fan joked: “My conspiracy theory is that Mourinho is very emotional about Inter and comes up with something to make sure that he never manages first-hand against them.”
Mourinho could reportedly be set to leave Roma at the end of the season.
