Thomas Tuchel and Antonio Conte charged by FA over Stamford Bridge clash

Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel and his Tottenham counterpart Antonio Conte have been charged by the Football Association following their touchline fracas during Sunday's ill-tempered draw.

The pair clashed twice at Stamford Bridge as tempers flared during a fiery London derby which saw Spurs clinch a 2-2 draw with a Harry Kane goal right at the end.

Both managers were booked for the first bust-up, then sent off at full-time when a rather aggressive handshake resulted in more ugly scenes.

The FA confirmed on Monday that Tuchel and Conte now had a charge to answer.

"Thomas Tuchel and Antonio Conte have both been charged with a breach of FA Rule E3, following the Premier League fixture between Chelsea FC and Tottenham Hotspur FC on Sunday 14 August 2022," the FA's statement read.

"It is alleged that the behaviour of both managers was improper following the end of the fixture. Thomas Tuchel and Antonio Conte have until Thursday 18 August 2022 to provide their respective responses."

The Press Association reported that Tuchel could face further charges with the FA set to investigate the German's post-match comments as he claimed "maybe it would be better" for Anthony Taylor not to referee Chelsea again.
