Chelsea manager Tuchel calls for unity after Rudiger incident against Tottenham

Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel wants the Premier League to unite in condemning the incident that saw Antonio Rudiger pelted by objects from fans against Tottenham.

However, the game was soured by Rudiger being targeted by a missile by the away fans during the game.

Tuchel said: "I love to have them (fans) close to the pitch. Not behind fences and not behind nets. It's a brilliant atmosphere.

"In general I'm not concerned. I enjoy this atmosphere, also in away stadiums, it's brilliant.

"If it's a new trend we should act together to stop it as soon as possible to protect the environment of this game and the atmosphere that's absolutely unique in England."
