[ad_pod ]Tottenham Hotspur fans have expressed their indignation at Everton manager Marco Silva avoiding a touchline ban, per Sky Sports, for a confrontation with match officials following his side’s loss to Newcastle United.The Toffees boss confronted Lee Mason and his assistants in the wake of the Toffees’ dramatic defeat, in which they threw away a 2-0 lead to lose 3-2.
Silva claimed after the game, per Sky Sports, that as many as five players were offside in the build-up to Ayoze Perez’s winning goal.
But he has avoided a touchline ban and has instead been fined £12,000 after accepting a charge of improper conduct.
Spurs fans have been quick to point out the inconsistency that comes with that punishment after Mauricio Pochettino was handed a two-game suspension for a confrontation with Mike Dean following a 2-1 loss to Burnley.
Pochettino was fined £10,000 too and sat out his first game before the international break, as Spurs were beaten by Southampton. He will again be in the stands against Liverpool when the Premier League resumes.
And fans have urged the FA to start showing some uniformity in their discipline.
Take a look at the best of the reaction to Silva’s punishment below!
