Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino is facing the prospect of an FA charge over his conduct against Burnley.

The Spurs boss flew into a rage with referee Mike Dean following the final whistle of their 2-1 defeat at Turf Moor.

Pochettino was held back by some of his staff while assistant Jesus Perez also jabbed at the official following an exchange of words which appeared to enrage the away coaches.

Neither the Argentine boss, nor Dean, would reveal what was said between the two, with a comment from the official appearing to spark Pochettino’s rage.

But, according to Sky Sports, the referee has confirmed he will be including the moment in his match report.

Depending what has been said by Dean, the Tottenham manager could find himself in hot water with the Football Association and facing either a fine or possible even a touchline ban.

It was a match full of controversy with the first two goals both disputed by both teams, while Phil Bardsley could have seen red for a lunge on Danny Rose who appeared to be targeted by the hosts with Jeff Hendrick also getting away with a late challenge on him.
