Chelsea stars Cole Palmer and Enzo Fernandez pelted with missiles from stands during Tottenham clash
As fans tossed an avalanche of paper missiles at Chelsea players, Ange Postecoglou’s brittle troops tossed away a two-goal lead.Spurs are now marooned in the bottom half of the table after one win in seven matches in all competitions - while Chelsea are threatening to stage an unlikely title challenge.It was a crazy start, with left-back Marc Cucurella was forced to change his boots after his slips led to goals from Dominic Solanke and Dejan Kulusevski.
But what a mess for Big Ange - who dropped James Maddison, whose goals set up Tottenham’s only recent victory over Manchester City. It was this fixture which ended Postecoglou’s honeymoon period - a crazy VAR-infested match which Spurs ended with nine men and Chelsea won 4-1. It was a rapid counter attack from which Cucurella made his first slip, allowing Brennan Johnson to speed down the right and lash in a cross to the near post where Solanke got in front of Levi Colwill and poked home.
Cristian Romero, just back from injury along with his central-defensive partner Micky Van de Ven, was forced off early on and replaced by Radu Dragusin.
