Traore scored a stunner in the 2-1 loss to Tottenham this afternoon, and he also received some rough treatment from the visitors.

Three different players – Eric Dier, Toby Alderweireld and Harry Kane – were booked for taking out on the Spaniard, taking the total of players cautioned for fouls on him this season to a whopping 24 from 26 games.

"I think the referees know. They realise they should punish the tackles – just like that – to protect the players, players that have talent like Adama," said Nuno.

"It is tough to defend and opponents do what they have to do.

"But it's up to the referee to judge. If it's over and over again, it should not be allowed.

"I think all the referees know in the cases of players like this that they must act immediately to prevent an injury.
