A certain NBA star and well known Chelsea supporter has defended Thomas Tuchel after a touchline ban was confirmed and has questioned Anthony Taylor and Mike Dean in the process.
Last weekend, the pair were in the spotlight for certain decisions made on and off the pitch which benefited Tottenham and went against the west Londoners. Kai Havertz, Marc Cucurella and Richarlison were all involved in the key incidents. As a result of things going against the Blues in what was a thrilling London derby in game week 2, Thomas Tuchel and Antonio Conte went head-to-head on the sidelines in two clashes that ultimately resulted in both being sent off after the full-time whistle.
The FA have decided to hand Tuchel a one-match ban and a fine, whilst Conte only received a fine. It was a decision that the German can live with but he still cannot contemplate Mike Dean's admission that came out in the aftermath of the whole controversy. "I will survive it," Tuchel said during his pre-match press conference, before the FA had announced theor decision.
