Tottenham coaching staff involved in angry exchange in tunnel at half-time at Arsenal
TOTTENHAM coaching staff launched into angry rants at the officials at half-time against Arsenal.
Jesus Perez was fuming at referee Mike Dean
Mauricio Pochettino and his backroom team were incensed by two calls that went against them from ref Mike Dean.
Dean gave a free-kick to the Gunners after adjudging Davinson Sanchez to have fouled Alexis Sanchez.
The call was a soft one and it led to Shkodran Mustafi heading home the opener.
Spurs were then incensed when another call went against them for Arsenal's second - when Sanchez was said to be onside before netting.
Pochettino's assistant Jesus Perez waited for Dean in the tunnel and vented his fury at the break.

Mauricio Pochettino discusses the dodgy decisions with Kevin Friend
The Spurs boss then confronted fourth official Kevin Friend before the second half as tensions soared at the Emirates.
Sky Sports commentator Gary Neville said: "From Mauricio Pochettino's point of view, he'd have wanted to get his team into half-time unscathed as it was a very difficult half.
"But then it wasn't the best decision for the free-kick, it was disappointing.
"He won't be getting a satisfactory explanation I don't think, the Tottenham manager.
"It'll make him maybe feel a little better."
