Jose Mourinho snaps 'good question, you do not deserve to know the answer' after being asked by TV reporter why he left Gareth Bale on the bench as Tottenham slumped to Chelsea defeat

Jose Mourinho snapped at a TV reporter after she asked him to explain why he didn't bring on Gareth Bale during Tottenham's 1-0 defeat by Chelsea.

Spurs lacked a cutting edge without injured talisman Harry Kane and went behind to Jorginho's 24th-minute penalty on Thursday night.

Mourinho turned to Lamela and Lucas Moura as the home side chased the game rather than Real Madrid loanee Bale, who was left unused.
