Tudor charged over 'home referee' claim

Interim Tottenham manager Igor Tudor has been charged with misconduct over his claim that referee Thomas Bramall favoured the "home team" in Spurs' 2-1 Premier League loss at Fulham.

Tudor hit out after his relegation-threatened side were beaten on 1 March, saying Bramall "doesn't understand football".

The Croat had been angered by the Cottagers' first goal, which he believed happened because of a push by Raul Jimenez on Radu Dragusin before Harry Wilson put the ball into the net.

Speaking to the BBC after the match, Tudor said: "I didn't like the referee today, too much of a home team referee. I didn't feel well with him.

"All the decisions were on their side. He doesn't understand football, the feeling of what is wrong and what is right.

"He [Jimenez] was not thinking about the ball, he was thinking how to cheat, he cheated the player, was pushing, it was cheating and it's a foul. Ninety-nine of 100 people will say it's a foul, it's so obvious."

The Football Association said Tudor "allegedly acted in an improper manner during a post-match interview by making comments that imply bias and/or question integrity and/or are personally offensive in relation to a match official".

Spurs and the 47-year-old have until Monday to reply to the charge.
