Thomas Tuchel: Chelsea manager fined £20,000 for Anthony Taylor comments

Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel has received a £20,000 fine for suggesting it would be better if referee Anthony Taylor did not take charge of Chelsea matches.

He has also been warned about his future conduct.

Tuchel had previously been fined £35,000 by the Football Association (FA) for his confrontation with Spurs boss Antonio Conte after the match.

A statement from the FA said that he admitted that his comments constitute improper conduct.

It said that they "imply bias, question the integrity of the match referee, and bring the game into disrepute".

Tuchel's comments came after the match ended in controversial circumstances with Harry Kane netting a late equaliser shortly after team-mate Christian Romero had avoided punishment for pulling Chelsea's Marc Cucurella to the ground by his hair despite a VAR check.
