Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino admits he could've been sent off during today's fiery defeat to Roma in New Jersey.

Pochettino was enraged by a number of Hilario Grajeda's decisions throughout the 3-2 reverse in New Jersey - including turning down a Harry Kane penalty appeal.

Grajeda attempted to send Pochettino off in the second half after confronting the fourth official but the Spurs boss appeared to refuse.

"He wanted me to be sent off, but I said 'come on that makes no sense because we were talking in Spanish and nobody could understand us'," Pochettino said.

"It was all good I think. It was not a problem. I apologised to him about my behaviour.

"I believe it was a chat that ok, we were talking and started to speak louder."
