What Pochettino said during angry confrontation with referee

Maurizio Pochettino saw his side’s title hopes lost after 2-1 defeat to Burnley at Turf Moor. Moreover, the Argentine is likely to face FA investigation over his conduct after confronting referee Mike Dean. The result leaves Spurs five points behind both Liverpool and Manchester City and ends their title hopes. The incident occurred at full-time as Pochettino and his staff made their way onto the field. Dean asked an unhappy Pochettino “what’s your problem?” The Spurs chief responded “you know what”, to Dean, before appearing to walk away, hinting at his displeasure with the corner awarded that led to Burnley's first goal. "What, what what? What did you say?" shouted an unhappy Pochettino, while Perez vehemently jabbed his finger towards the face of Dean, who could be seen telling the Spurs boss to “go away”. Speaking in his post-match press conference, Pochettino said of the incident: "It’s weird, maybe the cables crossed in my brain. It’s the first time in 10 years. "I was always under control but what happened there, happened on the pitch. I need to find the reason now that we lost the game, not to find some excuse."
