Antonio Conte has stated the referee didn't understand the dynamic of what happened after he received a red card following his altercation with Thomas Tuchel in Tottenham's 2-2 draw at Chelsea. In a very lively encounter at Stamford Bridge, the managers squared up after Spurs' first goal of the contest and then at the full-time whistle.
The Chelsea boss took an exception to his counterpart's reaction after Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg's strike as he celebrated passionately and headed towards the Blues' bench. Already angry after Chelsea were not awarded a free-kick after Rodrigo Bentancur appeared to foul Kai Havertz, the German manager was involved in a confrontation with the Tottenham boss, with both managers booked for the incident.
Things then escalated again at the full-time whistle as the pair went to shake hands, with Tuchel not wanting to let go of Conte's hand and signalling to him to look at him in the eye. Speaking to the media in SW6 after the eventful game, Conte delivered his verdict on what actually took place.
