Mourinho lost for words
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The Serie A leaders Internazionale suffered a stunning 3-1 defeat at Atalanta yesterday to blow the title race wide open.
Sergio Floccari grabbed a superb opener for mid-table Atalanta on 18 minutes and Cristiano Doni extended their lead with a deflected free-kick and a powerful header in the first half. The Internazionale manager, Jose Mourinho, used all his three substitutes by the start of the second half but his side barely mustered a shot on target before Zlatan Ibrahimovic netted a consolation in injury time.
"I can't explain it," Mourinho said. "I should keep quiet and let the sports press use any adjective they want, which I must accept, given my team played such an awful match."
Genoa climbed to fourth, the final Champions League qualifying spot, thanks to a 2-0 win at Lecce and fifth-placed Napoli's controversial 2-1 defeat at joint-bottom Chievo, who moved level on points with Reggina, who lost 1-0 at Siena on Saturday following two Michele Marcolini penalties, although replays suggested Simone Bentivoglio dived to win the second spot-kick.
Last season's runners-up, AS Roma, who had a terrible start to the campaign, are now just five points off a Champions League place after a wonderful overhead kick from Julio Baptista in injury time sealed a 1-0 win at lowly Torino.
