The Dutch winger received his marching orders few seconds following his goal because of celebrating with the crowd.
"Under the rules, the referee had no option. I don't like the rule because part of the show is the players' relationship with the crowd," Mourinho said.
The Portuguese manager stated that this lesson won't let the former PSV Eindhoven winger replicate this sort of action again.
"It's an experience for him, next time he has a yellow card and scores he has to make sure he stays on the pitch," he said.
"He will not do it again. He will remember for his career because he has had a yellow card that he cannot celebrate with the fans when he scores a goal," he added.
While admitting that rules should be applied, Mourinho said that the referee could have dealt with the situation with more lenience.
"I think it would be easy for a referee to give one more minute extra-time instead of the second yellow card," he said.
"The player celebrates with the fans, it takes a little bit more time - instead of three minutes extra time, he gives four or five and it's done.
"But I think (referee Chris) Foy did well because he did what the rule says he had to do," the former Porto manager added.
