Thomas Tuchel punished by The FA for Anthony Taylor criticism after Chelsea draw vs Tottenham

Thomas Tuchel has been fined £20,000 by The FA and warned about his future conduct following his comments about referee Anthony Taylor following Chelsea's 2-2 draw against Tottenham Hotspur at Stamford Bridge.

The Blues head coach was hugely frustrated with three key decisions going against his side in the clash earlier this month. The first was why offside wasn't called when Richarlison blocked Edouard Mendy's view for Spurs' first goal and the second was the clear hair pull on Marc Cucurella by Cristian Romero prior to Tottenham grabbing a late equaliser.

After the full-time whistle was blown, Tuchel then got into an altercation with Antonio Conte. Both were shown a red card by Taylor for which Tuchel was both fined and forced to serve a one-game touchline ban, which he did against Leicester at the weekend.
