The independent regulatory commission have released their written reasons for handing Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel a ban but not Tottenham head coach Antonio Conte following the derby between the two sides as well as both men's letters to the FA.
Both head coaches were handed yellow cards earlier in the game but then received straight red cards after the final whistle following a clash when Conte attempted to shake Tuchel's hand and the Blues boss did not let go, sparking a coming together of players and staff. Now the FA, who charged both men with misconduct, have revealed the reasons behind the sanctions dished out by the commission.
The referee Anthony Taylor's submitted report on the red card said: "I have to report that I, as the referee sent off Thomas Tuchel and Antonio Conte of Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur under Law 12: Physical or aggressive behaviour. At the final whistle the two managers, Mr Tuchel and Mr Conte shook hands at the side of the pitch which appeared to result in prolonged physical contact between them. As a result an aggressive confrontation ensued which caused a further mass confrontation involving the technical areas and players. Having showed Mr Tuchel and Mr Conte the red card I advised him to leave the field of play."
