'Focus should be on Rudiger, not Son' - Mourinho blasts Chelsea man for role in red card

The Portuguese coach said the defender's actions had no place in the Premier League after an incident that saw a Spurs star sent off

Tottenham manager Jose Mourinho has lambasted Chelsea defender Antonio Rudiger for his role in Heung-min Son’s sending off in Sunday’s game between the sides, which his team lost 2-0.

Son was sent off after VAR review for kicking out at the German defender, but Mourinho claimed Rudiger had made the most of the incident.

Both players were the recipients of alleged racial abuse in the aftermath of the decision.
