Chelsea v Tottenham LIVE: Premier League result, final score & reaction as Harry Kane snatches late Spurs draw
Follow the reaction from a dramatic game at Stamford Bridge
Harry Kane headed a last-gasp equaliser to earn Tottenham Hotspur a barely-deserved 2-2 draw in a feisty London derby at Chelsea.
Reece James seemed to have sealed the points for the hosts with a 77th-minute strike but Kane rose to head home a corner in the sixth minute of stoppage time.
Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel and his Spurs counterpart Antonio Conte, a former Chelsea boss, were both shown red cards after the final whistle as tempers boiled over on a sweltering afternoon in west London.
Centre back Kalidou Koulibaly marked his home debut in style by volleying Chelsea in front from a corner in the 19th minute and the hosts totally dominated the opening period. Chelsea remained in the ascendancy in the second half and should have had the points wrapped up but were rocked when Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg equalised in the 68th minute.
Follow all the reaction as Chelsea draw with Spurs in the first ‘top-six derby’ of the season:
Nottingham Forest vs West Ham
Welcome to The Independent’s live coverage of Sunday’s Premier League action.
First up Nottingham Forest take on West Ham United at the City Ground. Both side lost their opening day fixtures with Forest falling to a 2-0 defeat away at Newcastle and West Ham suffering the same score line against Manchester City thanks to an Erling Haaland brace.
Both teams will be hoping to bounce back and get an early win on the board as they meet this afternoon with David Moyes’ men given the edge to win the game due to the strength of their side and their more recent experience of the Premier League. Although, Steve Cooper has been busy in the transfer window and Forest have strengthened their squad massively. If he can find the right combination of players then Forest may just cause an upset this afternoon.
That’s not all though. Later on there is a London derby as Chelsea welcome Tottenham Hotspur to Stamford Bridge. Thomas Tuchel’s men will face a stern test against Antonio Conte’s side who are full of confidence after cruising past Southampton 4-1 last weekend.
