Tuchel: I cannot understand how the first Tottenham goal is not offside
Thomas Tuchel reflected on an emotionally charged London derby.
‘The players know what input they put into this game, mentally and physically, we were so sharp, fully on it,’ said Tuchel.
‘We played a brilliant match. It was such a step-up for us from the first day in Everton. I’m very disappointed for the players they don’t get the reward they should have.
‘It happens during life as a football coach that you sometimes get caught in the last minute. We will hopefully have it in a season that we will steal some points in the last minute. It cannot happen when we have VAR, goals allowed that are irregular goals. It’s unacceptable.’
‘I cannot understand how the first goal is not offside, and I cannot understand since when players can pull other people’s hair and stay on the pitch. There is no explanation, and I don’t want to accept it. I have no words for it. Both goals should not stand, and then it’s a fair result.’
