Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel was shown a red card by referee Anthony Taylor immediately after the game against Tottenham.

Chelsea fans do not have good memories of referee Anthony Taylor, and Blues fans were left disappointed with his officiating in the London derby game.

After the game, Thomas Tuchel was asked about Chelsea supporters taking issue with Taylor, and Tuchel said that his players are also not happy with the referee.

“Not only the fans,” said Tuchel.

“You know the players, they know what’s going on when they are on the pitch. They know it.’

Asked if his players are worried when Taylor is in charge, the manager said: “Yeah, of course.”

For Tottenham’s second goal, Tuchel put more blame on VAR than Taylor.

“Maybe it would be better,” said Tuchel.

“But honestly, we also have VAR to help make the right decision. Since when can players be pulled by hair? Since when is that [not a foul]? If he does not see it, I do not blame him.

“I didn’t see it. But we have people at VAR who check this. Then you see it and how can this not be a free-kick and a red card?

“This doesn’t even had to do with the referee in this case. If he does not see something, that’s why we have people to check if there is a decisive error going on.”

Tuchel was told he may now miss Chelsea’s trip to Leeds. He replied: “So…good. I cannot coach but the referee can whistle the next game.”
