Early in the first half, Daniel James was on the receiving end of a rough tackle by Harry Winks near the touchline. The Welsh winger just went flying into Jose Mourinho, who happened to be too close to the action. As seen in the footage, a falling Daniel James couldn't control his momentum and bashed his head against Mourinho before falling down the ramp that leads up to the pitch. Mourinho meanwhile could be seen holding his leg in pain as he hobbled out of the way. It was initially feared that James was hurt in a bad way, but the Wales international eventually got back to his feet and resumed playing.
