Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel attacked referee Anthony Taylor and the VAR system for decisions during a 2-2 draw with Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League on Sunday, potentially exposing him to a penalty.
And with a Harry Kane header in the final moments, Tottenham pulled away a point in a tense atmosphere at Stamford Bridge, where Tuchel and Antonio Conte collided with the Tottenham manager and they were sent off after the match ended.
Tuchel believes that Kaya Haveritz was fouled while building an attack, due to which Tottenham equalized the score, and Richarlison was offside and blocked the view of goalkeeper Edward Mendy.
He added that newcomer Marc Cucurea was drawn to Tottenham defender Christian Romero’s hairstyle before Kane’s equalizer goal.
The German coach told reporters: “To pull your hair, stay on the field and attack at the last corner kick, for me it has no explanation and I do not accept it, two goals should not count and we deserved to win from my point of view.” vision.
A request circulated online that referee Taylor should not be appointed to manage Chelsea’s matches in the future, and over 64,000 signatures were collected shortly after the draw.
In response to these demands, Tuchel said: Perhaps it would be better this way, and Tuchel continued, but we also have a video referee to make the right decisions, but he didn’t watch it, I don’t blame the referee, I don’t watch either, but there is the people who run the video judge system to review the footage.
He continued: I may not be in charge for the next match against Leeds United on the 21st of this month, but the referee may be in charge of the next match.
