Pochettino was booked after striding onto the pitch and confronting the referee.
Chelsea manager Pochettino has issued an apology to the officials for his angry on-pitch tirade during the Chelsa-Man City game at Stamford Bridge. It was a cracking contest between two top sides.
Cole Palmer scored the 95th-minute penalty against Man City to make it 4-4 in the Premier League. It was a roller-coaster ride for fans who were enjoying the game.
Pochettino was booked after striding onto the pitch and confronting the referee. The Argentine apologised after confronting the Anthony Taylor-led refereeing team: “I need to apologise to Anthony and the referees and the fourth official.
“In this moment, I feel that maybe Raheem (Sterling) can go through and go to score the fifth and in this moment when the game finishes I turn and say “what the ….?” You know, what’s going on.
“I said ‘why stop in this moment, the action.’ Then I turned and said ‘I deserve, I deserve to be booked.
“Because I crossed the limit, so I want to apologise because it’s not a good image for me and for football, this type of behaviour.”
There were nine yellow cards at Stamford Bridge in a heated match. Man City took the lead three times in the game but every time, Chelsea came out with an equaliser.
