Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel and his Spurs counterpart Antonio Conte, a former Chelsea boss, were both shown red cards after the final whistle as tempers boiled over on a sweltering afternoon in west London. Centre back Kalidou Koulibaly marked his home debut in style by volleying Chelsea in front from a corner in the 19th minute and the hosts totally dominated the opening period. Chelsea remained in the ascendancy in the second half and should have had the points wrapped up but were rocked when Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg equalised in the 68th minute.

It was a hectic match where even the managers got into it with both seeing red.

Spurs tracked Raheem Sterling well in the middle as he was shadowed by Emerson Royal until his assist, but none of the Chelsea front three did enough to win the match. The influx of depth during the summer has allowed Conte to tinker to change a match, and on Sunday it was the difference between one point and no points. Tuchel wanted the goal called back due to a foul on Kai Havertz but due to it being a different phase of play, the goal stood. Quite a way for him to open his Chelsea scoring account but he also made four tackles and had seven recoveries. Chelsea saw Marc Cucurella mark his full debut with an assist to Koulibaly on the opening goal in the first half and then they managed the game for 60 minutes, not allowing Spurs to get as much as a corner kick during the time period. It was a grueling, heated battle at Stamford Bridge that saw the points shared in a 2-2 draw between Chelsea and Tottenham on Sunday. Goals for Chelsea from Kalidou Koulibaly and Reece James were canceled out by Pierre-Emile Hojbejerg and Harry Kane, with the English striker delivering a header goal in the final minute.

Chelsea and Tottenham played out a pulsating draw in a classic London derby at Stamford Bridge as tempers flared on and off the pitch.

Marc Cucurella starts and it looks he is starting as the left wing-back in a 3-4-2-1 system. Spurs have to try and keep the ball better to have any chance of getting back in the game. Now, Antonio Conte, a Premier League champion with Chelsea himself, is at the helm and Tottenham look stronger and more convincing than perhaps they ever have. 1W-1D-6L. That’s Tottenham’s dismal record against Chelsea over the last four Premier League seasons (3W-1D-9L if you include all competitions). Even in the best of times for Spurs — in the 2015 League Cup final and the Battle at the Bridge, when Tottenham were chasing Leicester City for the PL title, just to name a couple — Chelsea were a constant thorn in Mauricio Pochettino’s side. Marc Cucurella is seeing a lot of the ball. With Spurs’ midfield locked down, Harry Kane and Heung-min Son were left isolated and that is never a good thing for Tottenham. However, then Antonio Conte switched to a 4-2-4 to wrestle back control of the game to help Spurs rescue a point as they were better going forward and took more risks. What a moment for Koulibaly who celebrates with Thomas Tuchel on the sidelines. On the pitch it was an intense spectacle and off it there were strong Battle of the Bridge vibes. Tuchel and Conte clashed on the sidelines as the benches were emptied. At the final whistle Conte and Tuchel then went at it as they shook hands as a massive brawl broke out. Anthony Taylor, officials will be under pressure: Chelsea will feel very hard done by with plenty of decisions throughout the game as Romero should have been sent off for violent conduct on Cucurella and that means Spurs shouldn’t have equalized. This is Thomas Tuchel’s Chelsea. Many believe they would struggle to finish in the top four this season, and they still might, but this attacking performance suggests they will cause plenty of problems for opponents.

The tense confrontation between Premier League foes Thomas Tuchel and Antonio Conte drew comparisons to 2016's "Battle of the Bridge."

Recent history has seen Chelsea get the upper hand over Tottenham, with nine victories to just three losses and two draws in head-to-head matchups since Chelsea fired Conte as its manager in 2018. The tension between the two managers had been bubbling even before Kane’s goal, though, as Conte met Tuchel chest-to-chest in the 68th minute while celebrating Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg’s initial equalizer. When asked if Tuchel was the aggressor, Conte said.

Chelsea and Tottenham produced plenty of drama in their 2-2 draw in the Premier League on Sunday but the best action arguably came from their two managers.

Chelsea 2-0 Tottenham Chelsea 2-0 Tottenham If not, then not. A dramatic London derby produced on and off the pitch with Conte and Tuchel clearly desperate to claim bragging rights. The two managers were in each other's face on the sidelines for much of the contest with both making a point to celebrate in front of the other when their team scored. Chelsea and Tottenham produced plenty of drama in their 2-2 draw in the Premier League on Sunday but the best action arguably came from their two managers.

It's a man's game all of a sudden again and the referee had a wonderful game. Aluko, who now works as a pundit, joined England in slamming Souness' comments. "If there is such a thing as a purist who watches football, they might get excited when they see the two managers are getting upset with each other.

Reece James has praised manager Thomas Tuchel amid the controversy that surrounds the German and Antonio Conte after Sunday's 2-2 Premier League draw ...

Our player rating read: "Looked sharp in duels with Son Heung-min. Booked in the first-half for an excellent tactical foul on Son. Took his goal really well. Leave your thoughts in the comments section below! “Maybe it would be better," Tuchel said of the possibility of Taylor not refereeing their games. Aside from the controversy, certain Blues stars put in stand-out performances over the 90 minutes. “I don’t think just some of the fans think that," Tuchel said on the refereeing injustices in his post-match press conference. Then in the dying minutes, Marc Cucurella's hair being pulled aggressively wasn't picked up by Taylor, while VAR decided it did not warrant a red card, with Harry Kane heading in from the resulting corner.
