Bodo/Glimt scored four second-half goals as Botheim completed his brace likewise Ola Solbakken who also scored two goals and Amahl Pellegrino completed the rout.

Mourinho took responsibility for the loss as he claimed that he decided to use fringe players to give them opportunities to showcase themselves.

He said:

“I’m the one who decided to play with the team we use tonight, so it’s my responsibility.
“I did it with good intentions and to give opportunities to those who work hard and also give a rest to some guys. Tonight we lost against a team with more quality, it’s as simple as that.
“If I could use the same players every match I would. It’s risky because there’s a huge gulf between our first choice and second choice players. I expected better, but it’s my responsibility.”
