Benfica coach Jesus insists no Sherwood row

Benfica coach Jorge Jesus played down his touchline stoush with Tottenham manger Tim Sherwood after their Europa League win last night.

Sherwood accused Jesus of lacking 'class' after their 3-1 defeat.

But Jesus shrugged: "Maybe here in England the benches are too close together, compared to in Portugal. In Portugal we have more space and we can demonstrate ourselves in our own way.

"When at some stage I invaded Tim Sherwood's personal space, he told me to go to mine. He did the same to me. But it's okay, it all ended quite friendly."
