Tottenham striker Son Heung-min was sent off for violent conduct to compound a miserable day for Tottenham as Chelsea secured a 2-0 win in the Premier League at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

The jet-heeled South Korea talisman was given his marching orders following a lengthy VAR check after appearing to push his studs into marker Antonio Rudiger's chest when the pair collided in the second half.

Spurs were already 2-0 down courtesy of Chelsea winger Willian's first-half double when Son was dismissed with 62 minutes of the match gone.

The decision ensured a tempestuous end to what had already been a fraught London derby between the two bitter rivals.

Manager Jose Mourinho remonstrated with the officials and consoled Son as he made his way off the pitch in disbelief, having gone to his knees when Taylor produced the red card.
