The London Classic ends in a draw
An agonizing goal by Harry Kane determined the 2-2 draw between Tottenham and Chelsea at Stamford Bridge in a new edition of the London Classic. The match had heated emotions and there was a confrontation between the coaches at the end: Thomas Tuchel, from the Blues; and Antonio Conte, from the Spurs; faced each other after a rough handshake.
Kane's goal came right after Marc Cucurella's complaints about a foul in the area, due to the hair pull he received from Cristian Romero. Referee Anthony Taylor had a brief chat with VAR and indicated that there was no infringement, so the game continued.
The goal didn't leave much time for activity on the field and the draw was confirmed, which led to farewell greetings from the protagonists. Precisely, Thomas Tuchel, who was furious with Conte's celebration in the partial 1-1, took the initiative to approach his colleague.
The Chelsea coach quickly shook hands with his Tottenham counterpart, but he did it forcefully and didn't let go, causing the Italian's anger. Immediately, Antonio, who had a remarkable tenure as the Blues' manager, tried to free himself and confronted the German strategist, unleashing the massive conflict.
As captured by television, Tuchel demanded that his colleague speak to him looking into his eyes, while the other Chelsea and Tottenham staff members entered to separate them. Finally, after a strong exchange of words, some calmness arrived, although that didn't prevent both coaches from being expelled.
