Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho was sent off for the second time in a month on Sunday as the controversial coach watched his side draw 1-1 at home to West Ham United and lose more ground in the Premier League title race.

On an afternoon when Arsenal moved within three points of top spot after Alexis Sanchez scored twice in a 3-1 home win over Bournemouth, Mourinho's hopes of seeing United roar back into contention foundered amid more Old Trafford drama.

At the end of last month the Portuguese was dismissed for abusing referee Mark Clattenburg at halftime against Burnley.
