Following the final whistle, Tudor did not hold back when asked about the decisive first goal, pointing the finger at the lack of consistency from the Premier League's match officials and suggesting Jimenez "cheated".

"Of course it's a foul, I think. Nine out of 10 people will say it's a foul, I believe, because it's so obvious," he said, arguing that even small contact that gives an advantage should lead to the goal being overturned.

He dismissed the incident as more than a normal duel, saying the player "pushes with the hands and don't watch the ball" and that the opponent "was not thinking about the ball, he was thinking how to cheat. So, he cheated the player with pushing and they scored the goal."

Tudor called the decision "ridiculous to not give the foul, because the consequence is too big" and added that "there was no logic in this decision and logic is above everything, after come other things."
