Chelsea coach Thomas Tuchel and supporters do not want to see referee Anthony Taylor overseeing the clubs Premier League again.
Tuchel feels his team was cheated in their 2-2 draw against Tottenham last Sunday. There was a fracas at the end of the game as Tuchel and Tottenham coach Antonio Conte were both sent off the field due to exchange of hot words.
The Chelsea coach insisted that both Tottenham goals should have stood because fouls were committed during the build up to their scoring. Chelsea fans have long claimed an agenda from Taylor against the Blues following a string of decisions against them in previous games.
Asked whether Taylor should never referee Chelsea again, the German replied: “Maybe it would
“But honestly, we also have VAR to help make the right decisions. Since when can players be pulled at their hair? Since when is that? And if he does not see it, I don’t blame him.
“I have to say both [Spurs] goals cannot stand. It’s only one team that deserved to win and that was us. I’m sorry for my team, they don’t get what they deserve,” Tuchel told Sky Sports.
“It was a clear foul on Kai Havertz in the build-up [to Tottenham’s first goal], a clear foul. We had one tactical foul from [Reece] James which got a yellow. I don’t know how many tactical fouls [Pierre-Emile] Hojbjerg and [Rodrigo] Bentancur. The situation went on and on, and it was a clear offside on Richarlison. He is in line of the shot. He even goes to the ball, so Mendy can’t see the ball. They check it, it is a clear offside.”
However the FA will investigate following his complaint about referee Taylor.
The FA will review the video footage of the incident and look at the referee’s match report before deciding on any charges. There is also a right to reply for both managers before it finally goes to a commission.
