Jose Mourinho shuts down reporter for Gareth Bale question after Tottenham throw away lead against West Ham


Jose Mourinho shut down a question about Gareth Bale after watching his Tottenham side throw away a three-goal lead to draw with West Ham. Bale was introduced in the second half with Spurs in cruise control after racing into a 3-0 lead after just 16 minutes. Following the game, a NBC Sports reporter started asking Mourinho about Bale only for the Spurs manager to interrupt. He said: "Before the match you wanted to talk about Gareth Bale, after the game you want to talk about Gareth Bale. It's Tottenham vs West Ham." The interviewer swiftly ended the interview, throwing back to the studio where the presenter said: "If you're going to play Gareth Bale, people will ask about Gareth Bale." When asked by Sky Sports to explain the final result, Mourinho said: "Football ... football happened." He added: "To concede three goals is a big punishment, and deserved."
