Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino could face FA action after confronting referee Mike Dean on the pitch after his team lost away to Burnley.

Pochettino has since said he regrets losing his temper, BBC Sport report.

However this has not spared the Argentine from criticism from one of the club’s former players.

BBC pundit Garth Crooks has lambasted Pochettino.

He told BBC Sport: “His confrontation with referee Mike Dean was the clearest indication that Spurs had just blown away any chance of winning the title.
