'I'm not sure it's the rules anymore!' - Tuchel baffled by James red card call as Chelsea fight to Liverpool draw

The Blues were reduced to 10 men after their right-back was sent off for a deliberate handball, leaving his coach perplexed by the decision

Thomas Tuchel says that he does not know the rules surrounding red cards anymore after Reece James' first-half dismissal saw Chelsea hold on for a 1-1 draw with Liverpool on Saturday.

The Blues were reduced to 10 men when the England international was sent off by referee Anthony Taylor following a VAR check for a deliberate handball on the stroke of half-time, with the full-back having made contact with his upper arm after the ball deflected off his leg.
