Chelsea 'trying to sway refs'

Everton manager Roberto Martinez accused Chelsea's players of trying to lure the referee during a bad-tempered 1-0 defeat at Stamford Bridge.

Willian's late winner came after Gareth Barry's red card and a fracas in which Branislav Ivanovic escaped censure for a clash with Everton's James McCarthy.

"It's very clear that what the home team are trying to do is influence the referee," Martinez said.

Mourinho cut short his BBC interview when asked about Chelsea's attitude.

A game that looked destined for stalemate came to life in the closing stages after Barry was shown a second yellow card for a trip on Willian.

As opposing players clashed, Ivanovic locked his arm around McCarthy's neck and appeared to push his head towards the Everton midfielder.
