On Sunday evening, football fans could enjoy a very heated, in the literal sense of the word, London derby. At "Stamford Bridge" stadium, Thomas Tuchel and Antonio Conte clashed and finally had to admit a draw - "Chelsea" played 2-2 with "Tottenham." The "aristocrats" looked significantly better in the first half and took the lead in the 19th minute after Kalidou Koulibaly's debut goal within the team. The defender scored a goal with a great shot after Marco Cucurello's raised corner.
In the second half, "Spurs" somewhat recovered. As a result, in the 68th minute, Antonio Conte's students managed to equalize the score. Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg scored a quite controversial goal. The home team wanted the goal to be canceled due to a foul on Kai Havertz.
With the scoreline at 1-1, Conte and Tuchel conflicts began. The situation had to be calmed down by team coaches, and both strategists received a yellow card. In the 77th minute, it seemed that "Chelsea" extended their lead with a goal by Reece James. The Englishman, taking advantage of the "Spurs" defense, easily one-on-one defeated Hugo Lloris.
However, the match took another turn. During added time after a corner, Harry Kane's header hit R. James and went straight into the "aristocrats'" goal - 2-2. After the final whistle, Tuchel and Conte clashed once again and ultimately received red cards for themselves.
After these matches, both teams have 4 points each. The next opponent for "Chelsea" will be "Leeds United" away, while "Tottenham" will meet with the "Wolves" at home.
