Burnley’s first goal was controversial because replays show that it came from a corner which should not have been given as the ball last touched Jeff Hendrick in a challenge with Spurs defender Jan Vertonghen.The aftermath of the game then saw a furious Mauricio Pochettino and his Spurs coaching staff confront referee Mike Dean and the officials and at one point the Argentine has to be pulled away from them by Burnley’s Phil Bardsley.It’s likely to lead to a charge from the Football Association for the manager as it has been revealed Dean will include the incident in his report of the game.An angry Pochettino confronts Dean as the final whistle goes5

Pochettino unsurprisingly kept quiet on what was said between him and the officials when interviewed by Sky Sports straight after the game.However, the Spurs boss admitted he was in the wrong for the way he reacted when speaking to the written press minutes later.And a few Spurs fans took to Twitter to have their say on Pochettino berating Dean after the game, with some believing he was right to point out the referee’s ‘incompetent’ performance.Others claimed Spurs lost the game because the players didn’t play very well so Pochettino’s anger was misplaced.

Chelsea transfer latest: Maurizio Sarri says it is ‘impossible’ to lose ‘important’ Willian, but tells Brazil star he must do better
Maurizio Sarri says Willian will not be allowed to leave Chelsea this month but he wants the Brazil winger to improve.Chelsea are believed to have a rejected a player-plus-cash offer of 50million and Malcom from Barcelona, who have reignited their interest in the Brazilian winger.Willian has been told to improve by Maurizio Sarri2
Willian has been told to improve by Maurizio Sarri
The Camp Nou club tried to sign him last summer, but their three bids, including one of 55m, were turned down in July.Willian has struggled to discover his best form this season and has contributed just four goals in 31 appearances, leaving many Chelsea fans frustrated with his performances and believing now would be the best time to cash in on the 30-year-old who joined the Blues in August 2013.However, Sarri has urged the club to keep hold of the player, but the Italian wants Willian to find net more consistently and work on his movement off the ball. “I didnt receive anything yesterday,”Sarri said at his press conference. “You have to ask the club! I have no idea.“Of course I dont want to lose him. Willian is very important for us so I think its impossible to lose him in January.“He can do better because the potential is high. Usually he wants the ball to his feet.“He can improve on his movements without the ball, and he has the potential to score more.”The Chelsea boss also discussed the possible signing of Gonzalo Higuain from Milan, and the problems his team have been having in front of goal in recent months.Sarri wants Chelsea to keep Willian at the club2
Sarri wants Chelsea to keep Willian at the club
“As you know very well I am not in control of the transfer market,” Sarri added. “In my opinion we need two players, but then it is up to the club.“We need to score, of course. We need to solve this problem. In the last match we played very well, with continuity.“With a great performance from the physical point of view, but we didnt score.“Now we have this problem. We need to solve this problem.”
