Chelsea's roller-coaster rolls on in latest high-scoring thrillers

TOTTENHAM 1-4 CHELSEA

Chelsea emerged from a thrilling encounter at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium with a 4-1 win against Spurs. Tottenham players Cristian Romero and Destiny Udogie were given red cards while Son Heung-min, Eric Dier, Raheem Sterling, Moisés Caicedo and Nicolas Jackson all had goals disallowed in a thrilling encounter. The result leaves Tottenham in second and Chelsea move up to 10th spot.

Chelsea came from behind to beat nine-man Spurs 4-1 in a frenzied game on Mauricio Pochettino’s return to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Nicolas Jackson fired a hat-trick in a final crazy 20 minutes to cap a breath-taking game that will go down as one of the most eventful to be played in the Premier League, with five goals disallowed, multiple VAR checks and two red cards shown.

Their biggest chance for an equaliser fell to Son who was repelled by Sanchez in stoppage-time, and on the counterattack, Jackson grabbed his brace and moments later, his hat-trick.

This is a game that will live long in the memory – a game that almost defied belief. While the score looks like a heavy defeat for Tottenham, it’s one that undoubtedly flatters a nervy Chelsea side that threatened to surrender their lead to their nine-man opponents.

Inspired by their charismatic manager, Spurs played with tremendous bravery and belief (and some naivety), and were almost rewarded with the most unlikely of draws. The unwavering support shown by their fans was testament to their incredible effort.

Chelsea 4-4 MAnchester City

It proved to be a match for the ages as Chelsea and Manchester City settled for a point a piece in their epic Premier League encounter at Stamford Bridge. Eight goals flooded in amid relentless drama before Mauricio Pochettino and Pep Guardiola shook hands on a 4-4 draw. It was a pulsating clash that neither team deserved to lose as heavy rain and serious drama brought it to a close.

Cole Palmer scored a stoppage-time equaliser against former club Manchester City as the Premier League champions drew 4-4 with Chelsea in a sensational game at Stamford Bridge.

Erling Haaland opened the scoring via a controversial penalty, before goals from Thiago Silva and then Raheem Sterling - who was outstanding against his old team - drew Chelsea back in front.

Yet it was 2-2 at the interval after Manuel Akanji, left unmarked from a corner, equalised in added time and Haaland bundled in his second right after the restart to again give City the lead.

Nicolas Jackson reacted first to a minor Ederson error to make it 3-3, then Rodri looked to have won it for the visitors with a long-range strike that deflected past Robert Sanchez.

More drama was to come. Substitute Armando Broja was felled in the Chelsea box in stoppage time and Palmer - who started the season as a City player - was nerveless in dispatching the spot kick.

The draw leaves Man City on 28 points, one clear at the Premier League summit. Chelsea jump to 10th with 16 points.
