Tottenham write to PGMOL to complain over refereeing standards

Once you see two hands in live play, it looks like a push, a clear push. I delayed the whistle so that the play could continue, then obviously gave my final decision once the ball had gone into the goal and that allows the VAR then to potentially check if I've misread something or if it doesn't quite look right. But on-field it looked a very, very clear offence.

Yes: they have more players and can rest ThuLa, for example, with substitutes that no other competitor has in their squad. Good rotation, the kind that allows the team to maintain its level, can bring important results. Milan and Napoli don't have the same level of substitutes, although I'd put the Azzurri behind Inter once they've recovered all their injuries. The other teams will be fighting for a Champions League spot.
