Chelsea's Tuchel faces a 1-match ban while Conte dodges FA punishment

The Football Association (FA) has punished

for one match while

avoids the punishment as the regulatory commission made clear its assessment that Tuchel was to blame for the spat, the German was deemed to have instigated their clash after

2-2 draw with the Spurs.

After Anthony Taylor allowed

's late equalizer in

2-2 draw with the Blues, he had to show both Tuchel and Conte the red card. Tuchel later defended himself saying he perceived Conte's lack of eye contact at the moment to be a show of disrespect.

said:

"It was quite clearly TT [Tuchel] who instigated the confrontation between himself and AC [Conte] by choosing to grip AC's hand and jolt him back after AC had passed him by.

"Had TT not gripped AC's hand the confrontation between the two and the subsequent melee that followed would not have occurred.”

later admitted that he should have told referee Anthony Taylor that Cristian Romero had pulled

's hair when he tackled him.

"TT gripping AC's hand for the reason he gave (AC did not look him in the eye) was simply not justifiable; cursory handshakes are a common occurrence at the end of highly charged football matches and there exists no obligation for one person to look the other in the eye whilst shaking hands.

"TT telling AC to look him in the eyes whilst gripping his hand and not allowing AC to move away was a highly provocative act; AC was unwillingly pulled, literally, into the confrontation with TT.

"AC did react aggressively to TT's actions but the commission did not consider him to have hugely over-reacted given the circumstances.

"Whilst certain aspects of AC's behavior could be considered as being improper, indeed he admitted as much, the commission considered TT to be largely culpable for the incident and unanimously felt that this ought to be clearly and definitively reflected in the level of sanction imposed on TT and AC."
