Mateo Kovacic 'barged' by Antonio Conte after Chelsea star confronted Tottenham boss

Mateo Kovacic barged past Antonio Conte after the Tottenham boss was involved in a confrontation with Thomas Tuchel.

Chelsea boss Tuchel and his opposite number clashed on several occasions during the 2-2 draw at Stamford Bridge, which eventually led to them both being sent-off after the final whistle. Conte seemed to celebrate in front of Tuchel before the German did likewise as he ran down the touchline to celebrate Chelsea's second.

The main flashpoint came at full-time as a handshake turned into the pair squaring up to each other, which led to a mass brawl as they were separated. Kovacic, who was an unused sub, clearly took issue with Tottenham's coach and clashed with him in the tunnel, reports football london.
