Chelsea 2-2 Spurs: Cristian Romero screamed in Reece James' face after Kane's equaliser

Cristian Romero was very fortunate not to be punished for two incidents late on in Tottenham’s draw against Chelsea.

Harry Kane headed in at the death in controversial fashion to snatch a point in an epic 2-2 stalemate, after Chelsea had led the game twice.

Tensions boiled over in a heated London derby, particularly between the two dugouts, as the game was contested at a fiercely physical level, resulting in some contentious decisions from referee Anthony Taylor.

Chelsea took the lead in the feisty affair after 19 minutes when an unmarked Kalidou Koulibaly volleyed home tremendously from a corner on his home debut.

Tottenham struggled to get a hold of the game throughout the first half as Thomas Tuchel’s side dominated, but came back into the contest after the break and got level after 68 minutes, under controversial circumstances.

Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg pulled Spurs back into the game with a fine, low strike, which was allowed to stand despite a clear foul from Rodrigo Bentancur on Kai Havertz in the build-up to the equaliser.

The hosts regained the lead with just 13 minutes to play, dispossessing Tottenham high up and feeding the ball through to Reece James to score, sending Tuchel running down the touchline in celebration after an earlier spat with Antonio Conte.

Their lead didn’t last, though, as injury time saw Tottenham earn a corner which Kane managed to score from, again in controversial fashion.

Replays showed that Romero clearly dragged Chelsea defender Marc Cucurella to the floor by his hair while waiting for the corner which Kane headed in the equaliser from, meaning it most definitely shouldn’t have stood and instead should’ve resulted in a red card for Romero.
