Jose Mourinho's confirmed that Tottenham has appealed Son Heung-Min's red card against Chelsea while hitting out at how VAR was used during the game.
The South Korea international was sent off in the second half of the 2-0 Premier League defeat after VAR ruled that he kicked out at Antonio Rudiger.
The incident played a part in the defender allegedly being racially abused.
"I hope Son is not punished five times," Spurs boss Mourinho said at his press conference this afternoon.
"One time was the foul that Rudiger did on him.
"The second is to be sent off. The third would be not to play against Brighton. The fourth not to play against Norwich and the fifth not to play against Southampton.
"So I hope to be punished twice is enough, he doesn't deserve for the third the fourth or the fifth."
Mourinho has also criticised how VAR was used in yesterday's game, claiming that it was VAR official Paul Tierney who was reffing the match:
"Mr Paul Tierney decides yes and Mr Anthony Taylor who was in the game, in real time, five metres from the situation, Mr Taylor decided no," he said.
"So who was refereeing the game? Not Mr Taylor. It was Mr Tierney.
"I think not a red card, VAR was to support football, to bring true football, to bring true to the spectacle and they did that with the penalty decision and they killed the game with Son's decision.
"The situation with Son, I think Mr Tierney made it wrong. It's the wrong call.
"This is England, this is the Premier League, this is the best competition in the world, with characteristics that if we change them we are killing the best league in the world.
"Mr Taylor had the feeling, he was there, he saw it clearly so I think it's the wrong call."
