The Football Association has charged Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel and Tottenham Hotspurs boss Antonio Conte with improper conduct.

It follows a fiery clash after Sunday's 2-2 draw at Stamford Bridge, with both managers shown red cards by referee Anthony Taylor.

"Thomas Tuchel and Antonio Conte have both been charged with a breach of FA Rule E3, following the Premier League fixture between Chelsea FC and Tottenham Hotspur FC on Sunday 14 August 2022," an FA statement read.

"It is alleged that the behaviour of both managers was improper following the end of the fixture. Thomas Tuchel and Antonio Conte have until Thursday 18 August 2022 to provide their respective responses."

Both managers could face a ban, and the FA is also looking into comments made by Tuchel in his post-match interview about the referee.
