Thomas Tuchel ESCAPES an FA investigation after he questioned the impartiality of referee Mike Dean following the draw with Brighton... but the Chelsea boss has been 'reminded of his responsibilities' after outburst

Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel will be reprimanded by the Football Association for questioning the impartiality of referee Mike Dean following the draw versus Brighton.

The Blues head coach, who fears key player Reece James has torn his hamstring, will escape formal sanctioning from the governing body for his full-time rant following the draw against Graham Potter's side, during which Danny Welbeck scored an injury time equaliser for the Seagulls.

The FA examined the German's comments on Thursday morning to consider whether the remarks crossed their threshold for disciplinary procedures.
