The English Football Association reprimanded Chelsea coach Thomas Tuchel for improper behaviour on Monday, following his team’s heated draw with Tottenham.
Tuchel was displeased with the officials’ decisions before to Tottenham’s two equalisers last week in the English Premier League, and stated after the game that it could be better if Taylor did not supervise another game for Chelsea.
Tuchel was suspended for one match and fined 35,000 pounds by the FA for his argument with Tottenham’s Italian coach, Antonio Conte, at the end of the same game, for which Conte was fined 15,000 pounds.

According to the statement, the Federation added the accusation of inappropriate behaviour since Tuchel’s words in the post-match press conference entail prejudice, call into question the integrity of the match referee, and harm the match’s image.
Thomas Tuchel has until Thursday, August 25 to respond, he added.
The German was incensed when Tottenham equalised with a deadly header from Harry Kane.
Chelsea had previously filed an appeal, arguing that there was a mistake and offside in the action that resulted in Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg scoring Tottenham’s first goal.
Chelsea were also disappointed that Taylor did not act when Tottenham’s Christian Romero tugged the hair of Spaniard Marc Cucurea before a corner kick.
The Video Assistant Referee evaluated the event and rejected it (VAR). Kane then scored from the subsequent corner.
