Thomas Tuchel and Antonio Conte have been fined for their Stamford Bridge row, with the Chelsea boss also handed a one-game touchline ban.

The Chelsea and Tottenham managers clashed repeatedly during Sunday’s thrilling 2-2 draw in west London.

The two were initially separated after Pierre-Emile Højbjerg equallised for Spurs midway though the contest.

A post-match handshake quickly descended into another row at full-time with both managers shown red cards as a result by referee Anthony Taylor.

Both managers have admitted improper conduct with Tuchel receiving a heftier fine and a one-match ban.

His ban has been suspended temporarily, pending the full written reasons for the decision, meaning he will be allowed to sit in the dugout for Sunday’s clash against Leeds at Elland Road.
