Nicolo Zaniolo appeared to have put the ball in the back of the net in the 89th minute but it was ruled out by VAR, leaving the Portuguese furious.
Following a review of the pitchside monitor, match officials determined that Roma’s Tammy Abraham fouled Johan Vasquez in the build-up.
Zaniolo also protested the decision but got himself sent off for that, as both sides ended the game with 10-men as Genoa had also seen Leo Ostigard sent for an early bath in the 68th minute.
Mourinho, however, wasn’t happy with the decision to disallow a potential winning goal, and made no bones about his feelings while addressing the media after the game.
Speaking to DAZN, he said:
Roma boss decries unfair treatment of Zaniolo
The Portuguese head coach didn’t stop there. He suggested there was some kind of vendetta against his players.
Zaniolo was shown a red following a heated exchange of words with the referee but Mourinho doubts if a similar rant by veteran players from rival sides would result in a sending-off.
