Baph will not be happy with this start.

Kanté is still the best midfielder in the prem.

Not at all, but plenty of time. So far it looks like a standard outing for Spurs at Stamford Bridge, I've seen them win there once.

Would like to see Bissouma in the second half. We're getting worked in midfield and can't get it to the forwards.

obvious statement, but it is nice seeing player like Son, a guy who is faster with the ball then most of his competition without the ball. Henry esque when he starts sprinting.

When Kane's missing those, you know you're cooked.

Wow Chelsea are pissed.

Conte and Tuchel in each other's faces after the Spurs goal to equalize.

Stanford Bridge is getting hotter and hotter. Refs played themselves, obvious foul missed that leads to a goal for the other side. Terrible ref job.

I don't understand why the Spurs goal stood. Richarlison clearly offside and moving towards the ball inches away from it blocking view. Last season Leicester had 2 goals disallowed against Brighton when Barnes was yards away from the ball.

I don't understand why conté wasn't sent off for contact on Tuchel

I don't understand why tuchel wasn't sent off for a second yellow for running down the sideline.

Kanté has been head and shoulders above everyone.

Kane avoids teammate so he could run to the corner to celebrate. :lol:

And that post-game handshake by the managers. :D

I thought that should have been sent off for pulling him down with his hair, then they score.

Absolute scenes. I **** love Conte, man. The sort of bloke you hate until he's coaching you.

We were dog **** and got the point through pure **** housery. Romero trying to pull Cucurella's hair off his scalp. I thought Conte was going to give Tuchel a Glasgow kiss there.

Battle of the Bridge 2.

Loved the aggro. Conté would take Tuchel.

However there is no way the hair pulling should have been allowed. It was disgusting and should have been a red (a second yellow was enough but not correct). If that happened then no second goal.

Fun to watch though.

Spurs very lucky but at the end of the season it just shows a draw away at Chelsea.
