The FA have charged Thomas Tuchel and Antonio Conte following their spat during Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur’s dramatic 2-2 draw at Stamford Bridge on Sunday.
Tuchel has been issued a £35,000 fine and a suspended one-game ban, meaning he’ll still be on the touchline for the Blues’ trip to Leeds on Sunday. Conte, meanwhile, has been handed a £15,000 fine. Chelsea boss Tuchel criticised referee Anthony Taylor post-match, suggesting that “maybe it would be better” if Taylor never refereed his side again.
But Tuchel and Conte were both responsible for causing a stir during and after the match, first clashing on the touchline following Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg’s controversial equaliser for Spurs. After the full-time whistle, another row was sparked when Tuchel and Conte exchanged words during their post-match handshake.
