After the fiery 2-2 draw between Chelsea and Tottenham, Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel was hit with a heavy fine and a one-match touchline ban.

Tuchel was hit with a £35,000 fine and a one-game ban, while Conte was only told to pay £15,000.

Both managers were given a red card after the game, but the FA has explained that Tuchel was the instigator.

“It was quite clearly Tuchel who instigated the confrontation between himself and Conte by choosing to grip the latter’s hand and jolt him back after he had passed him by”, the commission’s report read.

“Had he not gripped Conte’s hand the confrontation between the two and the subsequent melee that followed would not have occurred.

“Tuchel gripping Conte’s hand for the reason he gave was simply not justifiable. Cursory handshakes are a common occurrence at the end of highly-charged football matches and there exists no obligation for one person to look the other in the eye whilst shaking hands.

“Tuchel telling Conte to look him in the eyes whilst gripping his hand and not allowing Conte to move away was a highly provocative act. Conte was unwillingly pulled, literally, into the confrontation with Tuchel.

“Conte did react aggressively to those actions but the commission did not consider him to have hugely over-reacted given the circumstances.

“Conte did remain irate after he had extricated himself from Tuchel’s grip and others had separated the two. Conte appears to enter into a brief but heated verbal exchange with the Chelsea player, Cesar Azpilicueta, before leaving the pitch.

“The confrontation between Tuchel and Conte caused a mass gathering of staff, players and stewards that could easily have escalated the situation.”
