Following the heated exchange on the touchline, both managers were dismissed at the end of the game.

After Cristian Romero pulled Marc Cucurella’s hair, video assistant referee Mike Dean later acknowledged that he made a mistake by not asking the on-field referee Anthony Taylor to check his pitchside monitor. By continuing the game, Harry Kane quickly equalized the score for Spurs in the 96th minute.

Tuchel, however, stated that he was “not impressed” by Dean’s admission of guilt during his news conference on Friday.

A mistake that big and obvious the whole world sees it,” Tuchel said.

“I struggle to be fully impressed by the statement.

“It’s so clear and obvious, I cannot understand how a referee cannot make the right decision.”

Jesse Marsch, Tuchel’s opponent, is likely to be disappointed by his presence in the dugout on Sunday at Elland Road.

He won’t be there, right? Are they saying he might be able to be on the bench?” said Marsch on Friday, before the FA ruling.

“That doesn’t seem right does it? If you get a red card, you’re out of the match.

“I will be disappointed if they allow him to be on the bench.

“There is a simple rule in football, whether it’s soccer or football – if you get a red card, you can’t play the next match.”
