Members of Bournemouth’s coaching team didn’t take too kindly to Postecoglou’s tactics and voiced their dissatisfaction.

That sparked a mini spat between members of both sides on the touchline as Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola also got involved.

Iraola was seen pushing Postecoglou away before calmer heads prevailed, and both sides were separated.
