Thomas Tuchel and Antonio Conte sent off as Spurs snatch draw at Chelsea

Thomas Tuchel and Antonio Conte were both sent off at full-time as Harry Kane snatched a 2-2 draw for Tottenham at Chelsea.England captain Kane was anonymous until burying a header from an added-time corner, to leave honours even in a tempestuous London derby at a sweltering Stamford Bridge.Tuchel and Conte were both booked after Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg slotted Spurs' first goal, and the two managers were given their marching orders after the final whistle by referee Anthony Taylor.The two bosses twice clashed heads, first on the touchline then on the field at the final whistle, in what proved an unwanted postscript to a high-quality and high-octane contest.Reece James thought he had settled the argument with a cool finish on a baking west London day, slotting home after Raheem Sterling's fine pass.Kalidou Koulibaly conjured a thunderous volley from Marc Cucurella’s corner to hand Chelsea the 1-0 half-time lead.Conte confronted Tuchel in the aftermath of Hojbjerg’s controversial equaliser as tensions and tempers spilled over.Chelsea were left incensed that referee Taylor waved away the Blues’ appeals for a foul when Rodrigo Bentancur tackled Kai Havertz.Tottenham powered upfield and scored from the same play, but crucially shortly conceded possession.Jorginho had the chance to clear, but was robbed in his own box and Hojbjerg angled home a neat leveller.Blues boss Tuchel remonstrated with fourth official Peter Bankes as it became clear Hojbjerg’s effort would stand.Former Chelsea manager Conte raced in and the pair briefly touched heads, and then both benches piled in to a messy melee.Tuchel, his assistant Zsolt Low and Conte were all booked for their aggressions, but after all the fuss, the goal was awarded.Chelsea set
