Tottenham vs Chelsea LIVE: Latest Premier League updates

Special to go back to Spurs – Pochettino
Tottenham host London rivals Chelsea in the Premier League this evening with the hopes of maintain their fantastic start to the new season.
Spurs have been in great form under boss, Ange Postecoglu, and are unbeaten across their 10 league matches so far. They are proving to be Manchester City’s closest rivals for the title at this stage and will regain top spot in the table should they defeat the Blues tonight.
Chelsea manager, Mauricio Pochettino, returns to north London to face his old club and although the Blues have stumbled in the early stages of his tenure at Stamford Bridge, including losing at home to Brentford last time out, he will want his side to impress.
They gained some much-needed confidence last week with a win over Blackburn in the Carabao Cup but Spurs will be well rested following their most recent win at Crystal Palace.

Half-time! Tottenham 1-1 Chelsea
45+12 mins: The whistle finally goes to end this tumultuous first 45 minutes. There have been so many incidents involving VAR that the officials are earning their money tonight.
In the end though, the game remains level at 1-1.
All to play for in the second half.

45+9 mins: What has gone on here? Levi Colwill is unhappy about something and there’s a bit of argy bargy deep in Spurs’ half. Pape Matar Sarr and Colwill are booked after a clash before Nicolas Jackson joins them in the book for a foul.

Tottenham 1-1 Chelsea
45+6 mins: Eric Dier nods the ball out of play and gifts a corner to Chelsea. It’s played short before Palmer delivers a cross into the box that is easily cleared away.
Spurs are hanging on and trying to get to half-time. They need to regroup. Pedro Porro fires a cross into the Chelsea box and almost finds Kulusevski who flings himself at the ball but can’t quite reach it.

Tottenham 1-1 Chelsea
45+3 mins: After the perfect start, this half has turned into a nightmare for Tottenham. They opened the scoring and had a goal disallowed before imploding.
Cristian Romero was sent off, Destiny Udogie is lucky to still be on the pitch. Chelsea have equalised but Spurs have lot Micky van de Ven and James Maddison to injury.
Chelsea are in control of the match now.

Tottenham 1-1 Chelsea
45 mins: There’s going to be 12 minutes of added time to play at the end of the first half.
Ange Postecoglou rings in the changes. Brennan Johnson had previously been taken off for Eric Dier to fill the hole in defence left by Cristian Romero’s dismissal.
Emerson Royal now replaces the injured Van de Ven and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg is introduced to replace James Maddison.

44 mins: Maddison is fine to play on and after a brief spell on the sidelines he trots back onto the pitch.
Another worry though comes for Spurs. The ball is sent up to Nicolas Jackson who sprints towards the box. Micky van de Ven sprints after him before pulling up clutching his hamstring.
This is a bad one and he won’t be able to play on…

42 mins: James Maddison plays a one-two on his way into the Chelsea box. He goes down off the ball as Reece James clears it with no contact from the Chelsea defender.
Maddison stays down clutching his ankle and looks to be a in bit of pain. The ball goes out of play and there’s another stoppage as Maddison receives some treatment.

Tottenham 1-1 Chelsea
39 mins: The game resumes with Tottenham bursting forward on the break. They’re going to have to dig deep after losing a player but they transition well through Maddison.
He gives it to Pape Sarr who shoots from range and sees his effort blocked. There’s a loud shout for handball from the home supporters but nothing comes from it.

GOAL! Tottenham 1-1 Chelsea (Palmer, 35’)⚽️
35 mins: Romero’s dismissal also results in a Chelsea penalty. Cole Palmer takes it and fizzes his shot into the bottom right corner.
Guglielmo Vicario guesses the correct way and gets a hand to the ball but he pushes it onto the post and the ball finishes in the back of the net.

Cristian Romero sent off for Spurs!
31 mins: There’s a lengthy VAR check happening now.
Caicedo’s goal has been ruled out as his effort went through the legs of Nicolas Jackson. VAR are now looking at Romero’s tackle on Fernandez.
They decide it is serious foul play and the red card comes out! Spurs are down to 10!
