Tottenham midfielder Hojbjerg: No need for Tuchel and Conte red cards | OneFootball

Tottenham midfielder Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg says both managers shouldn't have been sent off at the end of last night's 2-2 draw with Chelsea.

Both managers were shown a second yellow card for squaring up to each other as emotions spilled over during their post-match handshake, moments after Harry Kane's contentious 96th-minute equaliser.

Hojbjerg struck for Spurs on the day and insists ref Anthony Taylor had no need to send off either manager.

“I think in this case the officials could have said, 'Okay, no need for cards' after the finish. And just leave it a bit," Hojbjerg told the London Evening Standard.

“It's difficult to comment on decisions but I didn't think it was necessary for the officials to be giving red cards after the game."

Asked about Conte's energy on the touchline, the Dane added: “It's his personality and something as a player you know he brings. It's important."
