But, basically, Kane scored in the 96th minute. Tuchel said that neither Spurs goal should have counted and they should have won as a result. He says that Anthony Taylor favours Spurs (and Chelsea fans have a petition up with over 18,000 signatures for him to never ref their games again!). Anyway, the final whistle goes and Conte shakes his hand and is continuing to walk by. Tuchel holds on and yanks his arm. It sounds like he was mad that Conte didn't make eye contact while shaking his hand. There's a bit of a kerfuffle and both get red cards (which I would think will be overturned?). It was mostly hilarious. Tuchel did his presser and cried the whole time, and is probably the poorest or second poorest manager in the league.

The game itself was actually quite good and Chelsea missed a few goals that would've put it away. The return at Spurs later this year will be quite a spectacle if it's meaningful, in particular. These two teams clearly don't care for each other.

And Romero is amazing. Cucarella had stepped on him in the first half and pretty clearly he took note. The complaint before the tying goal (off a corner) was that Romero hauled him down by his hair. He clearly did, VAR looked and no action was taken. Perhaps lost on a lot of people who did watch the game, was that Romero didn't have a yellow card today! He's going to be a guy who everyone else hates, and Tottenham fans will love, if he's not already!

Huh...sounds like I missed all the fun.
