Cristian Stellini admits it was a 'good' decision to charge both Tottenham and Brighton after heated touchline clash with Roberto De Zerbi which did not make 'a good impression' - before claiming 'we were not the people who started this situation!'

Cristian Stellini admitted that the decision to charge both Tottenham and Brighton for their role in last week's heated touchline melee was a 'good' one.

The Italian - in charge of Spurs until the end of the season following Antonio Conte's departure - allowed that his side and their opponents did not create a very good impression.

Tempers flared in the Premier League clash, with Stellini and Brighton's Roberto De Zerbi squaring up to each other, before both sets of coaching staff became involved in a pitchside tussle.

Referee Stuart Attwell showed a red card to both Italian managers, although the Spurs boss protested his innocence having remained at a distance from the main fray, but the referee remained firm in his decision.
