According to the Daily Telegraph, a late tackle on Kepa Arrizabalaga from defender, Antonio Rudiger, sparked a furious spat between the pair which ended in Tuchel having to send the defender off to the changing rooms.

It’s believed things were later smoothed over, but it’s the first sign of the problems that Frank Lampard experienced, rearing their ugly head again on Tuchel’s watch.

What will be interesting to see from this point is whether the German factors their attitudes into his upcoming team selections, as the pair have almost certainly done their chances more harm than good.
