  1. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 45+2 mins

    Tottenham 1-1 Chelsea

    There's a minimum of 12 added minutes as Tottenham make a double change, James Maddison cannot continue so he is replaced by Emerson Royal. Maddison looks a bit surprised by the decision but obviously Spurs don't want to risk him further.

    Micky van de Ven, meanwhile, is replaced by Pierre-Emile Højbjerg.

    Such bad luck for Tottenham. Micky Van de Ven has just pulled up with what looks like a pulled hamstring. He is in a lot of pain. Tottenham have lost both of their centre backs.

    But now Micky van de Ven is down injured! It looks like his hamstring.

    James Maddison is up and able to walk to the edge of the pitch unaided so that's good news.

    Play continues.

    There was no contact on James Maddison as he went down trying to get a return ball into the box.

    He is receiving treatment now.

    You don't see Ange lose his cool too often. He wasn't over the top.

    He probably just gave the fourth official a bit of an earful.

    Ange Postecoglou is now booked for Spurs and even more concerning news is James Maddison down holding his ankle!

    It is just getting worse for Tottenham.

    Cristian Romero is a natural talent and it is all about how he should harness his talent.

    He doesn't know when he can make those aggressive challenges. It has proved costly.

    Mo: So unnecessary from Spurs. So much the better team. But for an inch, it could have been 2 and Chelsea could have been dead and buried. Completely lost their heads here. Crazy.

    Millington: If I'm Brennan Johnson right now I’m livid. Having an absolute blinder and two of your teammates lose their heads making a red card inevitable. Naïve

    Pedro Porro has come back on. He's going to try to see if he can shake off the injury.

    The VAR’s certainly earning his money in this game. This is bedlam.

    Big, big test now for Ange Postecoglou, probably the biggest of his Tottenham career so far because his players have massively lost their way since opening the scoring.

    He will be desperate to get to half time without further incident, but that will be a long way off because of all the stoppages.

    Ever since Tottenham scored their opening goal, they have lost their heads and could have lost two players - playing with nine men.

  14. Romero can have no complaintspublished at 20:40 Greenwich Mean Time 6 November 2023

    Cristian Romero has got some nerve complaining about the red card. Fully deserved and he could have had one a few minutes earlier. Totally reckless display of ill-discipline.

    I think Spurs getting the early goal has been their greatest undoing. Sent blood coursing through their heads.

    Emerson Royal is being called back to the Tottenham bench. It looks as though Porro's night is over.

  17. DISALLOWED GOALpublished at 38 mins

    Tottenham 1-1 Chelsea

    Tottenham are currently down to nine men because Pedro Porro is off the pitch injured.

    It looks as though Chelsea take full advantage as Nicolas Jackson fires in from Raheem Sterling's cross, but Sterling was offside.

    Vicario is so close to making a terrific save. He gets his fingertips to it and that is so close to being a brilliant save.

    Cole Palmer is a relieved player and Vicario is disappointed not to save the penalty.

    Dylan: Romero lasted 10 minutes longer than he should have! Finally a good decision.

    Anon: JUSTICE HAS BEEN DONE!!!

    Tom: Romero hasn't helped himself, could've had a red for the petulance minutes earlier, and then does that. Nobody can argue against that being a red, silly boy.
