Article text

THOMAS TUCHEL was spotted going mad at a player during the first half of England’s dramatic win over Mexico. The Three Lions boss was seen looking angry from his dugout at the Azteca Stadium. Tuchel was not happy with left-back Nico O’Reilly after a basic error. The Manchester City defender, 21, took a throw in down near the Mexico penalty box. But O’Reilly threw the ball straight out for a goal-kick to the home team. TV cameras then panned to Tuchel in his technical area.
