Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel is set to be investigated by the FA for his comments about referee Anthony Taylor following a fiery London derby draw on Sunday.
The result has sparked serious controversy at full-time with both club managers Thomas Tuchel and Antonio Conte engaging in a heated exchange during and after the game.
The Blues had gone ahead twice in the game, but were forced to settle for a point after Antonio Conte’s men fought back in the final minutes of the thrilling encounter.

Tuchel also questioned the refereeing on both goals, first for an offside on Richarlison, and then a Cristian Romero hair-pull on Blues wingback Marc Cucurella.
Tuchel was then questioned about fans having issues with Taylor that have gone on for a while by a reporter.
‘Not only the fans. Of course, the players they know what’s going on, they’re on the pitch and they know it, and again it’s like this.’ he said via talkSPORT.
‘Yeah of course they’re worried when they see him.’ he added.
Latest reports now indicate that the FA has launched an investigation after his Chelsea dressing room claims.
Tuchel has also been slapped with a touchline ban after receiving a Red card from Anthony Taylor on Sunday night, alongside his Spurs counterpart Antonio Conte.
