It was a typically incident-filled meeting between these sworn enemies but, really, there was only one place to start. Ange Postecoglou, the remorselessly under-fire Tottenham manager, had been barracked by his own club’s supporters when he replaced Lucas Bergvall with Pape Sarr in the 64th minute.
Bergvall had enjoyed a few bright moments. “You don’t know what you’re doing,” the travelling hordes informed Postecoglou. And so just imagine how the fiercely proud Australian must have felt shortly afterwards when Sarr won the ball off Moisés Caicedo and unloaded a low shot that the Chelsea goalkeeper, Robert Sánchez, inexplicably allowed to beat him.
