Tel forced off with ankle injury
Jayden Bogle stepped on Mathys Tel's ankle during a challenge, and Tel was unable to continue. Dominic Solanke replaced Tel in the 43rd minute.
Spurs manager Roberto De Zerbi said: “Tel has a bad injury on his ankle, but I don't know how long yet.”
VAR confirms no red card
The Premier League Match Centre said VAR reviewed Bogle's challenge for a possible red card, but Bogle was not sent off. The Premier League Match Centre said: “The referee’s call of no red card to Bogle for the challenge on Tel was checked and confirmed by VAR”
Tony Harrington said: “I'm confirming the on-field decision of no red card. There’s a lack of speed going into the challenge and he’s stepping into the tackle. Confirming a reckless challenge”
De Zerbi and Farke discuss the decisions
De Zerbi told TNT Sports: “Pedro Porro's was a duel and an incredible yellow card. The first situation of Mathys Tel I didn't see, I can't say nothing”
Asked if the referee should have gone to the monitor to review Bogle’s challenge, he said: “No. I have big confidence in the referee. Nothing changes if he goes to the monitor. If they didn't take the right decision I don't know. We have to keep the eyes on the performance where can improve.”
Farke, meanwhile, said: “I have heard there were several doubtful situations. A possible hand ball. I just know that Jayden Bogle out of any bad intention. It looked like a coming together. It's very unlucky outcome that Mathys is injured and we wish him all the best and he can recover quickly. The last thing Jayden Bogle is a nasty player. He's possibly the softest player in the whole league. I always call him my butterfly, and I can guarantee it was never out of bad intention.”
