Jose Mourinho's soap opera season hits new low as Chelsea boss is filmed in West Ham directors' box by Eastenders star Danny Dyer after being sent to the stands

Chelsea's disastrous start to the season would not look out of place on the pages of a soap opera script and Blues boss Jose Mourinho was subjected to yet further misery on Saturday.

After being sent to the stands by referee Jonathan Moss during the 2-1 defeat by West Ham at Upton Park, Mourinho played a starring role in a short clip filmed by none other than West Ham fan and Eastenders actor Danny Dyer.

Chelsea imploded moments before half-time when Nemanja Matic was sent off for a second bookable offence before first team coach Silvino Louro and then Mourinho also received their marching orders.

The Portuguese coach emerged for the second half in the West Ham directors' box where Dyer, who starred in films Football Factory and Mean Machine, was on hand with his camera phone.

The East London-born actor sneakily made a short movie of the sullen-faced Mourinho watching the match surrounded by Hammers fans revelling in his misfortune.

Dyer, 38, who plays Mick Carter in Eastenders, took great delight in sharing the video with his 1.1million Twitter followers, writing alongside the clip: 'Someone's got the slight hump. #COYI'

In the 12 second video Dyer films Mourinho as he walks behind the Chelsea boss, while another supporter walks into shot with a beaming smile displaying the peace sign behind the Blues manager.

Later Mourinho was pictured in the box surrounded by cheering Hammers supporters when Andy Carroll scored in the 79th minute to condemn Chelsea to their fifth Premier League defeat of the season after just 10 games.

After the game, West Ham chairman David Gold poked fun at Mourinho and Chelsea by posting a picture to Twitter of the Portuguese manager meeting the Hammers mascots before kick-off.

Gold wrote 'OK "who would like to play for Chelsea next week",' on the social media site, implying the mascots could do a better job than the Chelsea players.

After the game, Mourinho refused to speak to the media as the embattled Blues boss dodged the usual post-match press conference.

Earlier this month, Mourinho was fined £50,000 and given a suspended stadium ban for criticising referee Robert Madeley following their loss to Southampton on October 3.

On Friday Mourinho said his relationship with the media would change after phone camera footage of him walking around in west London was published.

The 'Special One' now finds himself as short as 3/1 to be the next Premier League manager to leave his club following what was, even by Chelsea's standards this season, a terrible day at the office.

Mauro Zarate had given Slaven Bilic's side the lead in the first half before the Chelsea meltdown began in the 44th minute whenMatic, booked for an earlier foul on the Argentine forward, cynically brought down Diafra Sakho to earn his marching orders.

Chelsea hauled themselves level through Gary Cahill before Hammers substitute Carroll had the final say when he headed Aaron Cresswell's cross past Asmir Begovic to leave the Blues 15th in the Premier League table.
