Thomas Tuchel and Antonio Conte pulled apart as tempers flare at Chelsea - in pictures

Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel and his Tottenham counterpart Antonio Conte were both sent off as ugly scenes erupted after the 2-2 Premier League draw at Stamford Bridge.

Both are sure to face FA investigations after they and backroom staff clashed at the final whistle of a bad-tempered but entertaining clash between two of the favourites for the Premier League crown.

Tuchel and Conte were booked after Piere-Emile Hojbjerg slotted Spurs’ first goal, and the two managers were given their marching orders by referee Anthony Taylor after their post-match handshake sparked a free-for-all which took minutes to calm.

England captain Harry Kane was anonymous until burying an added-time header which sparked the outpouring of emotion at a sweltering Stamford Bridge.

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.

Tuchel later addressed the incident that led to the red cards, saying: "I thought when we shake hands you looked in each other eyes, he had a different opinion. It was not necessary but a lot of things were not necessary.

"It's emotional, football. We don't need to heat it up. You have emotional coaches on the touchline and that's it.

We gave it everything.
