Thomas Tuchel explains touchline spat with Conte

Chelsea’s 2-2 draw with Tottenham ended with a goal, but the real fireworks came after the whistle blew.

Thomas Tuchel and Antonio Conte had a handshake on the touchline, but it led to serious beef as they fronted up and went face to face for a few seconds before their staff surrounded them.

Both got well deserved and predictable red cards.

As you could pretty much work out from his gestures at the time, Tuchel was frustrated by the way that Conte tried to shake his hand without eye contact.

It’s all rather silly of course – it’s funny how it’s always the handshakes that end up being the flashpoints – but we can totally understand the frustration after a game and a result like that.

When is the return game? We just can’t wait. We deserved to win today, and we’re more motivated than ever to win that fixture now. There should be fireworks.
