What a thriller that was! The Blues and the Spurs draw 2-2 in the Premier League derby on Sunday night at Stamford Bridge, in the game that will go in history as one of the craziest played between the two sides.It’s fair to say Chelsea were a much better rival, but the visitor clinched a draw thanks to Harry Kane’s last-gasp header late in the stoppage time.Just after the final whistle, the two gaffers confronted each other, which was not the first time today since they went nose-to-nose even after 1-1, with Tuchel losing the plot when seeing Conte’s ecstatic celebration.TUCHEL VS CONTE: ROUND TWO!!! 🤬🤬 pic.twitter.com/XhWuOU4fwD— Sky Sports Premier League (@SkySportsPL) August 14, 2022 A true derby, with all the necessary ingredients that was…Chelsea seemed eager to win straight from the kick-off, dominating the midfield with unplayable Kante and Jorginho. This kind of approach paid off on the verge of the 20th minute. Firstly, Havertz fired following a charming build-up, but Lloris somehow managed to save his team at the very last moment, resulting in a corner kick from the left. Cucurella targeted the far post, where this season’s other signing, Kalidou Koulibaly, hit a jaw-dropping volley to put his side in front. Marvellously, indeed!Koulibaly first goal for Chelsea against Tottenham. What a goal 👏🏻 #CHETOT pic.twitter.com/AVOnkGf0iO— KBN SPORTS (@KBNbackup) August 14, 2022 Still, the Spurs were given a splendid opportunity to level the score almost immediately, but Sessegnon embarrassed himself when confronted with Mendy in a one-on-one situation.Instead, Chelsea kept pushing for the second, with Sterling buzzing around the box and tormenting the rival’s defenders with his simplistic yet charming style of play.🎙️ Thomas Tuchel: “Both goals should not stand. Only one team deserved to win, that was us. I don’t know how many tactical fouls Hojbjerg and Bentancur did today. Since when can we pull hair in a football match? They checked and nothing happened, absolutely ridiculous.” pic.twitter.com/vgOMEIWY5x— Football Tweet ⚽ (@Football__Tweet) August 14, 2022 Unlike the former City forward, Kane and Son were unable to demonstrate their impeccable skill, being cut off in the final third. The mentioned duo, however, got some pockets of space in two moments in the second half but lacked mercurial finishing. Son’s effort was denied by exceptional Mendy, while Kane did the unthinkable, missing a clear-cut chance totally unmarked in the middle of the box.And then – when it seemed the Blues would take advantage of those misses to kill the game – the Spurs stunned everyone. Jorginho lost the ball on the edge of the box, and Hojbjerg fired it tremendously to make it 1-1.

Faced with such a lousy reaction from his forward, James himself had to step up and score to restore the lead. Woeful Kulusevski lost the ball on the right sideline, Sterling instantly deployed James on the flank, and his flawless finishing knocked down the Spurs.REECE JAMES. HE’S ONE OF OUR OWN. 🤩💙 pic.twitter.com/SQVGMFRryk— LDN (@LDNFootbalI) August 14, 2022 Or at least it looked like that at that moment. The die-hard guests once again fought back and found the equaliser in the last seconds of the game as a result of Kane’s remarkable header. Once more, Conte rushed to provoke Tuchel, who was having none of it, causing an unprecedented row on the pitch after the final whistle.Tuchel x Conte 🍿 pic.twitter.com/ZntKd5vKeL— 433 (@433) August 14, 2022 PREMIER LEAGUE – MATCHDAY 2SaturdayAston Villa – Everton 2-1 (1-0)/Ings 31, Buendia 85 – Digne 87 og/Arsenal – Leicester 4-2 (2-0)/Jesus 22, 35, Xhaka 55, Martinelli 75 – Saliba 53 og, Maddison 74/Brighton – Newcastle 0-0Manchester City – Bournemouth 4-0 (3-0)/Gundogan 19, De Bruyne 31, Foden 37.
