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 0-0 West Ham
23 mins: Vladimir Coufal loses the ball high up the pitch and Forest pick out Awoniyi up the pitch on the inside left channel. He drives at Kurt Zouma and has Brennan Johnson ahead of him waving wildly for the pass.
Awoniyi holds on to it too long and when his pass eventually comes across it’s too close to Fabianski who easily scoops up the ball.
Nottingham Forest 0-0 West Ham
20 mins: West Ham win a corner that Bowen curls into the middle of the box. Kurt Zouma looks to be the target but Dean Henderson is sharply off his line and flaps it away where the ball bounces out for a throw in.
Nottingham Forest 0-0 West Ham
17 mins: Chance! Said Benrahma collects the ball and cuts in from the left side of the pitch. He brings the ball into a central area before having a shy at goal.
Dean Henderson leaps to his left and keeps it out with a strong hand but almost pushes the ball to the waiting Tomas Soucek. Harry Toffolo is switched on to the danger and squeezes between the midfielder and the ball before nudging it out of play to safety.
Nottingham Forest 0-0 West Ham
15 mins: Chance! Nottingham Forest are causing real problems with crosses into the penalty area. Neco Williams whips one in from the right wing and Taiwo Awoniyi is perfectly positioned in between Kurt Zouma and Ben Johnson.
The striker wins the header and whips it agonisingly wide of the left-hand post.
Nottingham Forest 0-0 West Ham
12 mins: Jesse Lingard pushes up the pitch and receives the ball before driving at Declan Rice. Rice is caught on the wrong side of the ball and brings Lingard down trying to recover it. That tackle earns him a yellow card.
The resultant free kick is hung up to the far side of the box and West Ham fail to deal with it properly. Scott McKenna sends it back to Orel Mangala who flicks a first time cross back into the area. Jarrod Bowen tries to clear it and leaps above Moussa Niakhate but his header knocks the ball back towards his own goal.
Lukasz Fabianski is switched on though and manages to tip the ball onto the crossbar and behind for another Forest corner.
Nottingham Forest 0-0 West Ham
9 mins: Michail Antonio shows his poise and power by chesting the ball down from a Lukasz Fabianski long ball. He spins towards goal and shifts in front of Lewis O’Brien who is drawn into a foul.
Close! Aaron Cresswell takes the free kick for West Ham and curls his shot just wide of the back post.
Nottingham Forest 0-0 West Ham
6 mins: Forest’s corner comes to nothing but it’s been a decent start from the home side.
Declan Rice goes through Awoniyi just outside the West Ham box and gifts Forest a free kick in a dangerous area. Neco Williams is over the set piece. He goes for goal and hoofs it high and wide.
Not his best effort that one.
Nottingham Forest 0-0 West Ham
3 mins: Dean Henderson’s clearance drops for Lewis O’Brien in the middle of the pitch and he plays it to Harry Toffolo on the left wing.
Toffolo slides a short pass behind the West Ham defence where Taiwo Awoniyi arrives and wins a corner for the home side.
Kick off: Nottingham Forest 0-0 West Ham
West Ham get the ball rolling for this Sunday’s Premier League action. They work it over to the right side of the pitch but the ball goes straight out of play for a Nottingham Forest throw in.
