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.

Nottingham Forest 1-0 West Ham
67 mins: West Ham continue to attack. They’ve missed the penalty but must feel as though they can still get back into this game.
Michail Antonio shifts his way into the box from the right before shooting and seeing his effort blocked - legitimately this time - by Scott McKenna.
SAVED! Nottingham Forest 1-0 West Ham
65 mins: Incredible goalkeeping from Dean Henderson who leaps over to the right and clings on to Declan Rice’s effort. It was a poor, scuffed shot from Rice, too near to the goalkeeper and Henderson sends the City Ground cheering wildly as he keeps it out!
Penalty to West Ham!
Nottingham Forest 1-0 West Ham
64 mins: It’s a penalty, the referee is called over to the montior, looks at the replay and points to the spot. Declan Rice has the chance to level things for the Hammers.
Nottingham Forest 1-0 West Ham
63 mins: Penalty shout! Said Benrahma weaves his way into the box from the left side and squares the ball over to Jarrod Bowen.
He shoots and forces a block out of Scott McKenna who sticks out his right arm and stops the effort from going in.
VAR is taking a look at this after the referee initially says no penalty... this is going to be overturned.
Nottingham Forest 1-0 West Ham
60 mins: Off the woodwork! This is not Said Benrahma’s day. He’s already had a goal ruled out and another fine effort from the edge of the box beats the goalkeeper and crashes into the upright.
Dean Henderson then smothers the ball to end the attack.
