Chelsea 2-2 Tottenham: Conte still waiting for a regular Barclays day

Thomas Tuchel and Antonio Conte were both sent off full-time as Harry Kane snatched Tottenham to a 2-2 Premier League draw at Chelsea.

England captain Kane was anonymous until he buried a header from a corner in injury time, to leave the honors even in a tumultuous London derby on sweltering Stamford Bridge.

Tuchel and Conte were both booked after Piere-Emile Hojbjerg netted Spurs' opening goal, and both managers received their marching orders after referee Anthony Taylor's final whistle. /p>

The two bosses faced off twice, first on the touchline and then on the pitch at the final whistle, in what proved an unwanted postscript to a high-quality contest and high octane.

Reece James thought he had settled the argument with a cool finish on a scorching day in west London, returning home after Raheem Sterling's fine pass.

Kalidou Koulibaly staved off a thunderous volley from Marc Cucurella's corner to give Chelsea the 1-0 half-time lead.

Conte faced Tuchel following Hojbjerg's controversial equalizer as tensions and anger boiled over.

Chelsea were furious that referee Taylor dismissed Blues' calls for a foul when Rodrigo Bentancur tackled Kai Havertz.

Tottenham powered up and scored on the same play, but quickly conceded possession.

Jorginho had a chance to clear, but was broken into in his own box and Hojbjerg brought home a neat leveler.

Blues boss Tuchel protested to fourth official Peter Bankes as it became clear Hojbjerg's effort would hold.

Former Chelsea manager Conte ran in and the pair briefly touched, then the two benches piled into a messy scrum.

Tuchel, his assistant Zsolt Low and Conte were all booked for their assaults, but after all the fuss the goal was awarded.

Chelsea got back to business and James scored a fine goal, only for Kane to emerge with his only significant contribution from a difficult afternoon.

The match kicked off at a blistering pace from the start, to match the powder keg atmosphere of Stamford Bridge.

Scorching London temperatures choked the air and Chelsea quickly set about stifling Spurs.

The Blues brought their capital rivals back in their own half time and time again with imperious, regimented pressing.

Chelsea also headed the ball, with Tuchel's latest match-specific system edging out Spurs counterpart Conte.

James stopped Heung-min Son on the right of a back three, while Ruben Loftus-Cheek's physical presence and driving runs lit up the right flank from the back.

Koulibaly's powerful volley gave Chelsea their rightful advantage, with the Senegalese skipper hitting Cucurella's corner with obvious delight.

Sterling's pretty backheel had given a low kick to Havertz for a low strike on goal which Hugo Lloris had turned around the post with his foot to give the Blues that corner.

And then two big-name summer signings linked up to devastating effect as the Blues reflected their superiority in territory and possession on the scoreboard.

Spurs' only real chance of the first half came when Ryan Sessegnon broke free from the Blues defence, only to have Edouard Mendy deny him with a clever save.

Chelsea dusted themselves off and regained their composure and control, with Loftus-Cheek no doubt frustrated not to make contact with Jorginho's slick pass on the run for goal with a header attempt .

Spurs attacked the second half with renewed vigour, Son swiftly pulling a smart save from Mendy.

The Loftus-Cheek run ended with Sterling exploding over the bar as Chelsea also pressed.

Then in a flash, Kane slipped out of the Blues defense, only to scuff his shot wide.

Things flared as Spurs equalized through Hojbjerg, who broke through at home after Jorginho lost the ball in his own area, leading to the first bench clash.

Havertz flew away from James' fine cross as Chelsea tried to regain the lead, handing Spurs a major reprieve.

Chelsea refused to give in, however, and Koulibaly and Kante combined to win the ball high in the half from Spurs.

Sterling fired James on goal and the England winger beat Lloris to put Chelsea ahead 2-1.

Kane nodded home from a corner in injury time, after Christian Romero avoided censure despite pulling Cucurella's hair.

Tuchel and Conte shook hands as they walked in opposite directions at the final whistle, and when neither man refused to let go, another clash ensued.

Taylor fired both men for adding an ugly postscript to an engrossing and relentless contest.
