Graeme Souness said football 'is a man's game' alongside Karen Carney

Graeme Souness stated that football ‘is a man’s game’ despite being sat next to Karen Carney after Chelsea’s draw with Tottenham.

The two London sides played out to a thrilling and physical 2-2 draw in which tensions boiled over several times, with both teams laying in heavy challenges and both managers being sent off after full-time.

Sky Sports pundits discussed the fiery stalemate in the studio after the game, with Souness and Carney in the studio alongside Jamie Carragher and David Jones.

Chelsea went ahead against Spurs after 19 minutes following a fantastic volley from Kalidou Koulibaly, who met Marc Cucurella’s corner.

Tottenham equalised after 68 minutes through Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg in controversial fashion, with Kai Havertz being fouled in the build-up to the goal, but his strike standing despite the fact.

Antonio Conte and Thomas Tuchel were involved in a touchline fracas throughout the game, resulting in a wild celebration from Tuchel when Reece James fired Chelsea back in front after 77 minutes.

The jubilation was short-lived, though, as Spurs again got level in controversial circumstances, this time in injury time. Harry Kane headed in from an Ivan Perisic corner, although during the play, Cristian Romero appeared to foul Cucurella, pulling him down by his hair but again avoiding any punishment.

It was a brilliant game and one made even better by the raw emotions that bled into it during the contest and after the final whistle.

Souness was keen to make a point of how physical the affair was post-match, suggesting that referee Anthony Taylor had a good game and that Premier League officiating should become more lenient once again.

Likening the affair to more physical encounters of the past, Souness stated
