​Chelsea boss admits incidents during Tottenham clash unacceptable

Chelsea boss Guus Hiddink has been talking about the various incidents during Monday's stormy 2-2 draw with Tottenham.

Hiddink fell over as players and staff grappled after the full-time whistle but the Dutchman makes light of the incident.

"For me it was a minor thing. There was a bit of pushing and I lost my balance, which doesn't happen much to me," he says.

However, he does acknowledge that the scenes on and off the pitch were unacceptable.

"There were too many chest to chest situations, which was not good for the game," he adds.

"There were too many incidents. It was a hot game, because there's always this rivalry."
