Thomas Tuchel and Antonio Conte in focus as rivals see red in fiery London derby

Thomas Tuchel and Antonio Conte came to blows twice during a fiery 2-2 draw between Chelsea and Tottenham.

The first flashpoint with the managers occurred in the 68th minute after Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg had equalised for Spurs with Conte going chest to chest with his opposite number, who was remonstrating with fourth official Peter Bankes over a contentious Rodrigo Bentancur tackle.

A second incident would happen after referee Anthony Taylor had blown for full-time with a handshake between Conte and Tuchel sparking more fireworks where both received a red card.

Here, the PA news agency takes a look at how the two passionate coaches performed at Stamford Bridge.

Tuchel: The German handed a full debut to summer signing Marc Cucurella while Ruben Loftus-Cheek was given the nod on the opposite flank with captain Cesar Azpilicueta the man to make way and joined by Ben Chilwell on the bench. Cucurella responded with an assist for the opener and makeshift wing-back Loftus-Cheek dominated his battle with Ryan Sessegnon.

Conte: Spurs boss Conte elected to pick the same XI which beat Southampton comprehensively on the opening weekend with four of his new signings again named among the substitutes. It proved a bad decision with the visitors second-best for the majority of the first half and the Italian forced into a change by the 57th minute.

Tuchel: While Tuchel went with his favoured three in defence and wing-backs formation, Reece James appeared to be deployed purposely close to Son Heung-min in an almost man-marking role, which saw the threat of the South Korean nullified. Loftus-Cheek’s physicality out wide gave him the edge with Raheem Sterling again leading the line in a fluid front three alongside Kai Havertz and Mason Mount
