Mauricio Pochettino Looked Like He Wanted To Fight Mike Dean At The Final Whistle

Mauricio Pochettino could well have a ban coming his way following his actions at the final whistle after his Spurs side suffered a shock 2-1 loss to Burnley.

At the end of the game, which was decided by a late Ashley Barnes winner, Pochettino trudged onto the Turf Moor pitch and in the face of referee Mike Dean.

The Tottenham manager was full of anger and pointing fingers at the official, with his assistant Jesus Perez also fuming. It was really out of character for the former Southampton boss, who appeared to tell Dean, "you owe me one".

He refused to comment on whether or not he reacted aggressively to something Dean said to him, when later asked by Sky Sports' Patrick Davison in a post-match interview.

Dean, the most flamboyant match official in the land, is still waiting for his 100th Premier League red card. You just know that when it does happen, it's going to be a big one.
