Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg believes that referee Anthony Taylor's decision to dish out red cards to both Antonio Conte and Thomas Tuchel after the final whistle of the 2-2 draw between Tottenham and Chelsea was unnecessary.
The two head coaches were both shown straight reds after the final whistle of the fiery derby at Stamford Bridge. Conte attempted to shake hands quickly after the game but Tuchel gripped the Spurs head coach's hand tightly, refusing to let him go and in doing so yanked him back towards him with the motion.
Both men went face to face with the German's cap pressing against his counterpart's head as he pointed two fingers towards his own eyes, telling the Italian to look at him if they are to shake hands. That sparked chaos around them as both benches and players piled in, albeit with no physical exchanges other than various players being held back.
