Cristian Romero will NOT face disciplinary action over Marc Cucurella incident because hair pulling is NOT in the rules - after furious Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel insisted the Spurs defender should have been sent off

Christian Romero will not face any disciplinary action following the incident between the Spurs defender and Marc Cucurella during Tottenham's draw at Stamford Bridge on Sunday.

During the dramatic final moments of Sunday's clash between the two London clubs, TV cameras caught a coming together between Romero and Cucurella inside the Chelsea box.

Romero was seen pulling the Chelsea defender down by his hair, but despite VAR official Mike Dean taking a look at the incident, Romero was not penalised and Chelsea were not awarded a free-kick.
