Southhampton Football club made the accusation to the referees board chief Mike Riley.The event occurred during Southhampton's 2-1 loss to Everton at Goodison Park last Sunday.
After the match at Goodison, Pochettino complained bitterly about Clattenburg's handling of the game.
The Southampton manager said: These things need to be said and i am actually defending my club because it is my club and if i don't talk, i am going to be seen as if i am dumb or i don't care about my club.
I don't mean any disrespect against any referees but
anyone watching the game can see there were two clear penalties that weren't given or should have been given.
Clattenburg has a controversial style and it is understood the alleged insult was directed at Lallana after the referee turned down Southampton penalty appeals late in the game.
Clattenburg was accused of aiming a racist insult towards Chelsea midfielder John Mikel Obi during their 3-2 home defeat by Manchester United.
The FA and the Metropolitan Police launched inquiries into the incident, but a month later, dropped the investigation and Clattenburg was cleared.
Mikel was later fined £60,000 and banned for three matches for threatening Clattenburg in the aftermath of the game.
