Thomas Tuchel and Antonio Conte were both sent off as tempers flared after Harry Kane's last-gasp equaliser earned Tottenham the unlikeliest of points in a pulsating 2-2 draw with Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
Match Report
Conte and Tuchel had already been booked for a face-to-face altercation in the aftermath of Spurs' first equaliser, scored by Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg (68), but came to blows after Kane had risen unmarked to head below-par Spurs level for the second time in the 96th-minute.
The managers had to be separated before being shown red cards as a fiery derby - which has invariably spilt over through the years - on a scorching hot day in the capital came to the most dramatic of ends.
Kalidou Koulibaly's thumping volley (19) had given Chelsea a deserved lead after a dominant first-half display, but Spurs somehow stayed in contention and equalised when Hojbjerg's drilled shot punished Jorginho's error in the penalty area.
Conte's exuberant celebration outside of his technical area angered Tuchel and the Chelsea boss responded when Reece James (77) restored the hosts' lead, streaking past the forlorn Italian and down the touchline in to celebrate with the Chelsea fans.
Tuchel looked to have had the last laugh but, with Chelsea seconds away from successive Premier League victories, Kane's dramatic stoppage-time equaliser lit the fuse for the confrontation between the coaches to come.

Anthony Taylor is a devil against Chelsea. Before the second goal it was clearly seen that Romero pulled Cucurella's hair still he continued with the corner.

If you are saying Chelsea complain too much then you are not a real football fan; I know fake people will come under my comment to say words like STOP CRYING blablabla. Let's be sincere and say things as it is, FIFA has to look into this; Anthony Taylor has cost us too much which includes FA CUP final against Arsenal 2020. Imagine Tottenham not getting booked in this again, and they played dirty, but Chelsea players were booked to reduce their pressure in the game. It's a shame!

No matter how you see this game it's a beautiful game of football but Antonio Taylor should be ban from refereeing Chelsea match cuz mehn every time he looks to be playing against us every time. How is pulling of a defending player not a foul yet went ahead and gave a corner kick? It's a shame

If soccer isn't rigged I don't know what else...Var & these referees need a serious shake up and until these referees are punished for the mistakes they make over & over, it will never changed...but damn Chelsea looked like title contenders (in that game) while spurs title pretenders🤦🏾♂️...apart form the referee madness was still a decent game
