Solskjaer claims bragging rights over Mourinho with ex-Spurs flop scoring winner

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's Besiktas defeated Fenerbahce 1-0 in the Istanbul Derby to further bother Jose Mourinho to win the Turkish Süper lying.

Dson Fernandes, who flopped in Tottenham Hotspur when Mourinho was in charge, missed a penalty but then scored the only goal to brag Solskjaer in Sukru Saracoglu stage.

The victory sees that Solskjaer was the first foreign Besiktas coach who claimed an earlier from Fenerbahce in 22 years and hopes the end of Fenerbahce's title, with Mourinho's side eight points behind leaders Galatasaray.

The former Manchester United Managers, who spent five years in Old Trafford, bumped into England during their time and were facing each other for the first time since they moved to Turkey.

Solskjaer replaced Mourinho with United in 2018 and the two managers both recorded Premier League finishes in second place – the highest that the Red Devils have reached since Sir Alex Ferguson.

The pair closed Hoorns in April 2021 after Solskjaer's United Beat Spurs with 3-1, a week before Mourinho was fired.

The 62-year-old Portuguese boss was furious after Solskjaer claimed that son Heung-Min had cheated in order not to allow a united goal.

Solskjaer, who unveiled the pre-match he did not spoke to Mourinho since his arrival in Turkey in January, criticized the South Korean for diving at that time.

“If that was my son and he stays down and he needs his friends to help him, he doesn't get food because it is embarrassing, the game has absolutely disappeared,” said the Norwegian.

Mourinho focused on the parenthood of Solskjaer in response.

“I just want to say that Sonny is good luck that his father is a better person than ole,” he said.

“I'm a father. I think you as a father should always feed your children. It doesn't matter what they do. If you have to steal to feed your children, you steal.

Solskjaer picked up the rivalry for the competition and insisted on it: 'This is not a match between Jose Mourinho and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

“This is a match between Besiktas and Fenerbahce. The players decide the score. I have a lot of respect for Mourinho. '

Since the replacement of Giovanni van Bronckhorst in January, 52-year-old Besiktas has lifted fourth place in the competition and competes with the play-off place of Europa League.

Fenerbahce will participate in the Champions League next season, but there is uncertainty whether Mourinho will still be in charge.

In November he tore the Turkish Super Lig in an incredible tirade after the 3-2 victory of his team on Trabzonspor on Sunday.

Mourinho did not support himself, as he stated courageously: 'Nobody wants to watch the Turkish league abroad.

“Who wants to watch this Turkish league abroad? They have the Premier League, they have the French competition, they have the German competition, they have the Portuguese League, they have the Dutch competition. Why would they see this?

“It's too gray. It's too dark, smells bad. But that is my job, and I will give everything to my work, to my club. '

In the meantime, the former Chelsea manager was struck last month with a ban of three games and hit a 292,500 Turkish lira (£ 5,955) after he had grabbed the nose of Galatasaray boss Okuk in amazing scenes.

After approaching Buruk from behind, Mourinho apparently squeezed the nose of his opposite song. Buruk, 51, then fell to the floor and covered his face with his hands.
