Fener went ahead in the Turkish Sup Lig match through Fred, before Simon Banza’s two controversial penalties put Trabzonspor 2-1 up.

Edin Dzeko then leveled things up in the 75th minute.

But Amrabat’s dramatic late winner sparked wild celebrations among Fenerbahce players and fans.

The gaffer he ran onto the field before sliding to his knees as the players piled on top of him.

Mourinho waved both arms in the air as he left the pitch.

And as he approached the tunnel, the Special One passionately jumped and punched the air as he was escorted by the Fenerbahce stars.

At the same time, a loud explosion was heard, which sounded like fireworks.

Trabzonspor also lost that match 3-2 and their fans packed the pitch before battling Fenerbahce stars including Michy Batshuayi and Bright Osayi-Samuel.

Mourinho was not a coach at the time, having only been moved to Istanbul in July.

However, last night’s passionate celebration was heralded by many as the most intense since Inter Milan beat Barcelona on their way to winning the Champions League in 2010.

One fan said: “The last time Mourinho went crazy like this was at the Nou Camp.”

Another declared: “The boy is crazy.”

One noted: “He made the Turkish league relevant.”

Another added: “Just won the Champions League.”

after the game Mourinho criticized the standards of referees in Turkey after VAR controversially awarded Trabzonspor two penalties.

Fener also felt they were denied a late penalty after a handball by the hosts.

Then he said in the tunnel: “I blame the Fenerbahce people who brought me here. They only told me half the truth.

“They didn’t tell me the whole truth because if they told me the whole truth, I wouldn’t come.

Mourinho’s press conference revealed in full

“I will watch the games as long as I can because nobody wants to watch the Turkish League.

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

“Why should they see this? When the president met me, the director, even before that I met other important and respected clubs in Turkey.

“I couldn’t believe that was the size. It’s too gray, it’s too dark, it smells bad.

“We had good control, winning 1-0 when Atilla (Karaoglan, VAR referee) woke up because he was probably drinking Turkish tea in the first half.

“Not to say an alcoholic drink, so it was probably Turkish tea. It was a clear red card on Bright (Oyasi-Samuel). If he is a Fenerbahce player, he would wake up, even the referee on the field would not be afraid to give the card.

“The referees are afraid to give us decisions. For me the biggest scandal is a penalty in our favor.

“As I said before, I don’t think many people abroad watch the Turkish league. I think in London only my son watches the Turkish league, no one else.

“I will post on my Instagram. I don’t have many, but I think more than five million will watch more of the penalty.

“So they will know what the Turkish league is. (On a scale of 1-10 what grade would I give myself?) Zero.”

“But with half the truth and my boys, we fight the adversaries and the system.

“Man of the match was (VAR referee) Atilla Karaoglan.

“I didn’t see him, but he was the referee. The referee was just a little boy who was there on the field, but the referee was Atilla Karaoglan.

“He goes from the invisible man to the most important man in the game.

“I think I speak for every Fenerbahce fan – we don’t want him anymore.

“We don’t want him as a VAR. We don’t want him on the field, but on VAR, even less.”

Mourinho later revealed more at his press conference.

He added: “Who wants to watch this Turkish league abroad? I couldn’t believe that was the size (of the refereeing standard). It’s too gray, it’s too dark, it smells bad.

“We had good control, winning 1-0 when Atilla (Karaoglan, VAR referee) woke up because he was probably drinking Turkish tea in the first half.

“Not to say an alcoholic drink, so it was probably Turkish tea.

“I don’t think many people abroad watch the Turkish league. I think in London only my son watches the Turkish league, no one else.

“I will post on my Instagram. I don’t have many, but I think more than five million will watch more of the penalty.

“So they will know what the Turkish league is.”
