    Malo Gusto basically shoves over Emerson Royal and he is booked while Tottenham have a free kick in a dangerous position.

    Pedro Porro fires the ball into the area and Rodrigo Bentancur heads down from yards out but wide!

    When you are down to nine men most teams would camp up, sit back and invite pressure.

    But Spurs are going about it in a fascinating way.

    Six minutes to go and you just cannot rule out another big twist in what has been one of the most memorable Premier League games we've witnessed.

    Peter: I doubt there's a neutral following the match tonight that doesn't want Spurs to equalise right now. A game for the ages!

    J: Whatever the end result may be, Ange is box office. Playing such a high line with 9 men. Can't get over it, lol. How bad are Chelsea though?

    The lines are out, is Moisés Caicedo's toe playing Eric Dier onside?

    The noise will be immense if this gets given.

    A fifth disallowed goal of the game but there's still hope for Tottenham as VAR is checking the offside call...

    Fantastic volley by Eric Dier and Tottenham think they are level, but the flag is up for offside.

    Anon: Was texting to say Chelsea are awful, which they really are then GOAL.

    Anon: An insanely high line from Spurs with 2 men less. That goal was inevitable even with Chelsea's bad finishing.

    Christian: At last Chelsea have worked out what's needed for Jackson to score - play against 9 men every week.

    Chelsea make a change as Malo Gusto comes on for Reece James.

    Do Tottenham just go for it now? Nothing to lose I suppose.

    The first time in 20 minutes, Chelsea play quick passes down the halfway line.

    There was more patience and composure. It all came natural and they get their goal.

    He's onside and the roar goes up from the away end as the decision is confirmed.

    Chelsea lead and Tottenham's unbeaten run is under real threat.

    There's more relief in the celebrations from Chelsea than anything else.

    My first initial thought was that Sterling was offside. The linesman kept his flag down.

    But he is onside. My vision is not as good as it used to be!

    There is a VAR check for Raheem Sterling's run. Are we going to get another goal ruled out?

    But this time Chelsea make it count!

    Raheem Sterling breaks through the Tottenham high line and races towards the box before squaring to Nicolas Jackson for a tap in.

    You have to say, it had been coming.

    Cole Palmer tries to play a quick ball through the defence but the excellent Pierre-Emile Højbjerg is there to deal with the danger.

    Another rallying cry from the Tottenham fans.

    Some games are likened to a game of chess but this is more like draughts when you are left with one counter and hang on as long as possible !!!

    Chelsea are losing confidence and they can't capitalise on nine men.

    Mauricio Pochettino is getting visibly frustrated in his technical area with some of the choices his team are making in the final third.
