After Chelsea’s victory over Brighton, MAURICIO POCHETTINO and Adam Lallana got into a heated altercation.
Conor Gallagher’s dismissal in the first half did not stop the Blues from winning 3-2 at Stamford Bridge.
When Brighton got a penalty at the very end, they believed they would have a late equalizer.
However, because the ball struck goalie Levi Colwill in the face first, VAR overruled the decision to penalize his handball.
At the dramatic conclusion, Joao Pedro shoved fellow Brazilian Thiago Silva, causing tempers to flare just before the final whistle.
After that, he got into a fight with Chelsea’s two goal scorer, Enzo Fernandez.
Simultaneously, Blues manager Pochettino hurried onto the pitch to speak with referee Craig Pawson.
However, as players from both teams clashed, he got into heated discussions with people like Lallana and Pascal Gross.
As Benoit Badiashile and Wesley Fofana rejoiced, he was shoved.
And after being jeered all game long, former Seagulls goalkeeper Robert Sanchez gave it big to the visiting Brighton supporters.
His longtime friends Lewis Dunk and Jan Paul van Hecke then got into an argument.
Despite also running into Van Hecke, Colwill, a former Brighton loanee, made an effort to mediate the situation.
“I don’t know what happened,” he remarked. All I was doing was attempting to soothe it.
“This is an intense game. Everyone poured forth their souls there.”
Subsequently, Pochettino stated that he had wished to challenge referee Pawson for his erroneous call to award Brighton a late penalty.
“It was difficult to understand why he gives the penalty and then checks the VAR,” the enraged Argentine said.
“I attempted to question the referee at the end as to why, if he didn’t see it, he handed a penalty.
However, it’s not a concern. It was observed by the VAR. However, I’m not sure why he gave it if he didn’t notice it.
“Why is there a penalty? He declined to give Mudryk a penalty when one might have been given for a foul.
“It was emotional out there.”
