Following Sunday’s thrilling 2-2 draw at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea manager – Thomas Tuchel believes the two goals scored by Tottenham should have been ruled out and firmly suggest that the referee – Anthony Taylor should never again officiate his team’s games.
In a heated London derby at Stamford Bridge, Harry Kane scored a 96th-minute equalizer as Antonio Conte and Thomas Tuchel both received red cards.
With a header in stoppage time, Kane earned Spurs a point in the 2-2 draw with Chelsea.
During the first half, the Blues had the upper hand, and Koulibaly gave them the lead with a spectacular volley from a corner.
Hojbjerg scored the equalizer for Spurs after Jorginho dropped the ball in his own goal area.
James appeared to have won the game with his goal, but Kane tipped in a corner in the 96th minute to force a tie.
However, tensions reached a breaking point in the second period, and both managers were given a red card for yet another confrontation that occurred after the final whistle.
When the game was over, Conte shook Tuchel’s hand as he was making his way out of the pitch but Tuchel wouldn’t let go, drawing Conte into yet another fight.
Again, officials were required to separate them, and this time, both coached receive a marching order from the referee. The Chelsea manager, who wasn’t in the mood to hide his rage at the officials, had this to say.
“We were absolutely brilliant. Both their goals cannot stand. Absolutely cannot stand. There’s only one team who deserves to win and that’s us and I’m sorry to my team that they didn’t get the result they deserved. There was a clear foul on Kai Havertz in the build-up. Clear foul. We had one tactical foul from Reece James: got straight yellow. I don’t know how many tactical fouls Højbjerg and Bentancur did today. Nothing happened.“
The Chelsea manager added that;
“Both their goals cannot stand. There was a clear foul on Kai Havertz and the situation goes on and on. And it’s a clear offside from Richarlison. He’s in the line of the shot, and he even goes to the ball. He doesn’t touch the ball [but] Édou cannot see the ball. They check it; it’s clear offside! And when can we pull hair on a football field?”
🗣 "Since when can you pull hair on a football field."

Both goals by the Spurs were the result of puzzling decisions by the referees, with the first coming after a clear foul on Kai Havertz went unpunished, even after the Tottenham player halted.
And the second occurred after Tottenham player Cuti Romero’s brutal hair-pull on Marc Cucurella did not result in a red card.
