FA to look into Thomas Tuchel's comments on referee after ill-tempered draw with Spurs

thenationalnews.com

The Football Association is investigating Thomas Tuchel's comments after the Chelsea manager slammed referee Anthony Taylor for his decisions in Sunday's ill-tempered 2-2 draw with Tottenham Hotspur.

Most of the post-match focus at Stamford Bridge was on the angry exchanges between Tuchel and Tottenham manager Antonio Conte during and after the game.

Both coaches were shown red cards after squaring up to each other following their aggressive hand shake after the final whistle, and are likely to be banned from the dugout for their teams’ next games.

However, Tuchel also turned on referee Taylor in his post-match news conference, saying “maybe it would be better” if Taylor no longer officiated games involving Chelsea.
