Harry Kane grabbed a late equaliser for Tottenham after it looked as if Chelsea’s dominance would be rewarded with three points, and the home side were unhappy with referee Anthony Taylor’s performance.

After the game Tuchel was asked if Taylor should not take charge of Chelsea matches, and he said: “Maybe it would be better.

“But honestly, we also have VAR to help make the right decisions. Since when can players be pulled at their hair? Since when is that? And if he does not see it, I don’t blame him.

“I didn’t see it, but we have people at VAR who check this and then you see it and then how can this not be a free-kick and how can it not be a red card? How?”
