It takes a big person to admit when they're in the wrong – and Mauricio Pochettino has held his hands up for his behaviour after the full-time whistle in Chelsea's 4-4 draw against Manchester City.<\/p>\n

The Blues fought from behind to claim a share of the spoils at Stamford Bridge thanks to Cole Palmer's 95th-minute penalty. However, Pochettino didn't appear to have matched the home crowd's levels of excitement after he stormed toward referee Anthony Taylor and seemed to shout "What the f***?"<\/p>\n

The Argentinian cut a furious figure as he moved towards Taylor in frustration after the referee blew for full-time just as Marc Cucurella looked to launch a final attack. The Spaniard had Raheem Sterling – who has already scored against his old club – for company further ahead, but Taylor felt the instant classic had run its course after 101 minutes.<\/p>\n

Speaking to reporters after the eight-goal extravaganza, Pochettino took a humble approach and admitted he was in the wrong for his reaction at the full-time whistle: "I need to apologise to Anthony and the officials, because in this moment I feel Raheem can go through, and in this moment I say 'what the. . .?'"<\/p>\n

The South American was so distracted by the incident that he forgot to shake hands with City counterpart Pep Guardiola. And Pochettino didn't leave the Catalan out of his post-match apology. <\/p>\n

"I deserve to be booked," he added. "I apologise, but this type of behaviour is no good. I want to apologise to him also [Guardiola]. I was focused on the action."<\/p>\n

And one can hardly blame the boss given just how much action there was. City superstar Erling Haaland grabbed two goals and an assist on the day, with team-mat Rodri led to believe he'd won the fixture in the 86th minute. However, Palmer had one last critical interventtion after Armando Broja was brought down in the City box.<\/p>\n

Thiago Silva pulled Chelsea back into the game before Sterling served them their first lead, and summer signing Nicolas Jackson equalised at 3-3 to keep the game alive. The showdown in west London wasn't without its controversy, either, with considerable time added on for the few VAR consultations that were required.<\/p>\n

Both teams could perhaps be content with a share of the spoils, though Pochettino clearly didn't view it that way when the final whistle blew. The Blues boss deserved credit for addressing the matter later, however, as he and Chelsea enjoy a purple patch just as the international break threatens to disrupt their recent momentum.<\/p>\n
