Chelsea manager Pochettino questions Fulham manager’s claims about Gusto’s red card, urging them to cease complaining and pointing fingers at the referee.

Mauricio Pochettino responded to the controversy surrounding Malo Gusto’s tackle on Willian in Saturday’s 1-0 victory against Fulham. Cole Palmer scored just before halftime, but Gusto’s challenge on Willian raised questions.

Referee Anthony Taylor issued a yellow card, but some Fulham fans argued for a red. In a post-match interview, Fulham coach Marco Silva echoed this sentiment. Pochettino acknowledged the poor nature of Willian’s tackle, saying, “I value his viewpoint. It was a tough challenge for the officials and the VAR.

I can’t say too much without seeing all the angles, but it could have been a red card. That’s football.”
