‘The FA will investigate’ Thomas Tuchel after the Chelsea manager hit out at Anthony Taylor following his side’s hectic draw against Tottenham, according to PA News Agency.
Chelsea were the better of the two sides and Tuchel was left fuming that both of Tottenham Hotspur’s goals stood.
Tuchel and Spurs boss Antonio Conte clashed twice on the touchline and this led to both managers being shown a red card after the final whistle.
