So, another derby between Chelsea and Tottenhem is over and yet again, the Spurs failed to win at Stamford Bridge, a record which goes back to 1992. In fact, the visiting team can be happy with a 2-2, considering they were losing twice during the game and that they were inferior throughout the match. But it was indeed a fiery derby with chances, goals, and a bit of argy-bargy between the managers. Both Thomas Tuchel and Antonio Conte were too emotional (which can be expected from Conte) and were expelled after the match when a scuffle broke out between the pair.Tuchel v Conte round 2 🍿 pic.twitter.com/YwWZepUujc— 433 (@433) August 14, 2022 It all started with a wild celebration after goals, as both coaches were doing it too emotionally and a bit too close to each other. Then they angrily squared off following Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg’s equalizer after Tuchel suggested Kai Havertz was fouled in the build-up, and then at the end, the final ‘battle’ followed when the two-man shook hands.“I thought when you shake hands you look into each other’s eyes. Antonio had other ideas. I don’t have any bad feelings and I’m sure he will not have any. We both fought for our teams. Both dugouts are very close, so it got a bit heated. Nobody got insulted, nobody got hurt. We didn’t have a fist fight. So for me it is not a big deal. I’m surprised that we both got a red card for that” said Tuchel after the match.pic.twitter.com/m0Z5N7egvd— Out Of Context Football (@nocontextfooty) August 14, 2022 And the Italian seems to have the same feelings about the incident, as he was too more peacefully orientated.“I think that what happened we did enjoy, but next time we will pay more attention and don’t shake the hands and we solve the problem. He stays in my bench, I stay in my bench, with my staff on one side and no problem about this. It would be a pity if for this situation we miss the next game. There is a video to understand what happened. For sure I am not passive. If I see aggressivity, then my answer is with aggressivity but I repeat this is not a problem” said Conte.Antonio Conte continued his war of words with Thomas Tuchel on his Instagram story last night 👀 pic.twitter.com/2f5dsQ6zfB— Sky Sports Premier League (@SkySportsPL) August 15, 2022 There was another point of argument besides the celebration and handshake, and that is both goals which Tottenhem scored. For Tuchel, it was a referee’s mistake.“Maybe that would be better if he does not referee another Chelsea game. I don’t think that only some of the fans think that. I can assure you that the whole dressing room, every single person thinks that. The players know what’s going on and they’re on the pitch. Both Spurs goals should not stand and then it’s a fair result. If he does not see something that’s why we have people to check if there is a decisive error going on” said the German, stating that Chelsea deserved to win.Crazy stuff!

Never, never and I continue to do this. When I see the others have this type of behaviour, it makes me a bit angry but at the same time everyone tries to do what they want, you understand? I don’t want to comment on the referee but I never make a comment about the referee in England” said Conte.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.
