CHELSEA: Following his comments regarding referee Anthony Taylor after the match on Sunday, Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel will be the subject of an FA investigation.
Harry Kane’s equalizer six minutes into stoppage time gave Tottenham a thrilling 2-2 draw at Stamford Bridge, and Tuchel was furious.
The German suggested that Taylor should not referee Chelsea matches in future.
He said:
“I can assure you that the whole dressing room of us, every person thinks that”
The Blues were furious that Taylor failed to penalise Rodrigo Bentancur for a challenge on fellow midfielder Kai Havertz in the build-up to Spurs’ first equaliser.
Following the ensuing brawl, the two managers squared off, and Tuchel and Antonio Conte both received yellow cards as a result.
But both coaches got into another altercation at full-time and were dismissed because of their still-high blood pressure.
The red cards do not automatically result in a ban, therefore both are virtually certainly going to be in the dugout for the games next weekend.
Before taking any action, the FA will watch the incident’s video footage and the referee’s game report.
Before it ultimately goes to a commission, both managers have the opportunity to respond.
