FA to investigate Thomas Tuchel's Anthony Taylor comments after Chelsea's draw with Tottenham

The FA will investigate Thomas Tuchel's comments regarding Anthony Taylor following Chelsea's dramatic draw with Tottenham on Sunday afternoon. Tuchel was furious with Taylor and claimed both of Spurs' goals should have been ruled out by the referee at Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea led in the London derby twice following goals from Kalidou Koulibaly and Reece James, but Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and Harry Kane ensured the points were shared at Stamford Bridge. For Hojbjerg's goal, Richarlison was stood in an offside position, and Tuchel thinks the Brazilian was impeding the view of Edouard Mendy in the Chelsea goal. There was also an incident between Rodrigo Bentancur, where he appeared to foul Kai Havertz around 40 seconds before Hojbjerg smashed the ball past Mendy.

Meanwhile, Cristian Romero appeared to pull Marc Cucurella's hair in the build-up to Kane's stoppage-time equaliser. The Video Assistant Referee, Mike Dean, then looked at the incident but decided not to take any further action against the Spurs centre-back.
