A match under high tension. Sunday, at the end of the day, Chelsea and Manchester City gave us one of the best shows of the season (4-4). An epic and tense meeting, marked by some questionable refereeing decisions. And it’s not Mauricio Pochettino who will say the opposite, he who lost his temper at the final whistle by heading towards referee Anthony Taylor. The latter undoubtedly forgot a penalty in favor of the Blues on the hand of Kyle Walker and interrupted the last action of the Londoners. If the Argentine coach lost his temper at the end, he regrets his anger in hindsight.
“I have to apologize to Anthony and the referees. At the time, I felt Raheem (Sterling) could go there and maybe score the fifth. But I deserve to be warned because I crossed the line. It’s not a good image of me and football.”says Pochettino. “I would also like to apologize to him (Guardiola, editor’s note) because at the time, I did not see him”. Furious, the Argentinian didn’t have time to shake hands with the Cityzen coach, who doesn’t blame him at all: ” No problem. It doesn’t matter. It’s the emotions… it happens to me sometimes.” No hard feelings therefore, and nothing other than an exceptional meeting between two Premier League leaders.
