Jose Mourinho has called for a fan who threw a bottle at Frank Lampard during the victory over Sheffield United to be jailed.

The incident happened in the closing moments of the Blues' 2-0 win at Bramall Lane when the England midfielder went to take a corner at the Blades' Kop end.

The Chelsea manager told the Daily Mail: "It's a serious incident but what can I say?

"If one guy did it, and if we can catch him and send him home or get him to spend a night in jail, that would be perfect. But it wouldn't be fair to punish the club or 30,000 fans.

"I don't think the club can be punished because of one individual. Maybe the guy drank red wine or beer with breakfast instead of milk."

Lampard attempted to play down the incident, saying: "It was only a plastic water bottle and there are no hard feelings for me.

"I know it's not something you want to see, but if it had landed on me I might have felt different. There was quite good banter in the far corner and nothing nasty aimed at me."
