Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino has been charged with improper conduct for his post-match row with Mike Dean after Tottenham’s defeat at Burnley. The Football Association has issued the Argentine with two breaches of FA Rule E3 after he fronted-up to the referee on the pitch following a 2-1 loss at Turf Moor. Pochettino then clashed again with Dean in the tunnel area – and both incidents are accused of amounting to improper conduct by the Spurs boss.
 Both Pochettino and his assistant Jesus Perez were incensed after Dean appeared to say something to them as they walked away from an initial confrontation, which appeared amicable, in the centre-circle. Pochettino appeared to repeat “what did you say?” – and angrily confronted Dean and his officials, while Perez could be seen pointing his finger towards Dean’s face and appearing to shout “you can’t say that!” All those involved refused to disclose what was said when asked to comment. 
But the Tottenham boss admitted he had made a mistake and would take whatever FA punishment comes his way, which could include a touchline ban as his side prepare to face Chelsea on Wednesday and then Arsenal at the weekend. “I am going to accept everything that can happen from the FA. But what happened on the pitch I hope is not going further,” he told Reporters.
Pochettino also said he believed the loss in Lancashire effectively ends their Premier League title pursuit, falling six points behind leaders Liverpool following their draw at Manchester United.
