Jose Mourinho has marked his 1,000th game as a manager with his AS Roma side dramatically beating Sassuolo 2-1 thanks to an injury-time winner from Stephan El Shaarawy.
The Portuguese's mad run to the stands to join the players' celebrations became one of the main highlights of the match:
"I told everyone lies!" Jose said after the game, as quoted by Fabrizio Romano.
"I had been saying to the team for days that this 1000th game was not important to me… but I had an incredible fear of losing!
"Luckily we won and I was running like a child today because I was feeling 12 years old, not 58”.
Mourinho's career was on a downward trajectory before he arrived at Roma, with his latest league title coming in the 2014/15 season.
Roma have won all of their Serie A games so far but as it always is with Mourinho's teams, the challenge is to sustain this form in the long term.
