It was a rough day on Sunday, as the English Premier League (EPL) 2022-23 clash between giants Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur blew out of proportion. Although the match ended 2-2 at Stamford Bridge in London, there was some controversy surrounding the referring. As a result, The Blues head coach Thomas Tuchel was vocal about it after the match, while he also hinted that Anthony Taylor should never again be the referee in a game involving Chelsea. Now, it has been reported by PA that England's governing body, the Football Association (FA), would be investigating the German's comments.

"Maybe, it would be better [that Taylor does not officiate in a Chelsea match again]. But honestly, we also have VAR to help make the right decisions. Since when can players have their hair pulled? Since when is that? And, if he does not see it, I don't blame him - I didn't see it," said Tuchel after the game, clarifying that Richarlison was offside before Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg's first for Tottenham and Christian Romero pulling Marc Cucurella's hair.

Tuchel later told Chelsea's website, "Absolutely [I have a problem with the referring]. The fans and the whole dressing room. I cannot understand how the first goal is not offside, and I cannot understand when players can pull other people's hair and stay on the pitch. There is no explanation, and I don't want to accept it. I have no words for it. Both goals should not stand, then it's a fair result."
