Chelsea drew the first blood with new signing Kalidou Koulibaly putting the team ahead in the 19th minute by meeting a deep corner from Marc Cucurella with a stunning volley that flew high into the net for his first goal since joining from Napoli. Spurs levelled the score with Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg finding the back of the net in the 68th minute with coach Tuchel furious that the goal was allowed, as he believed that  Kai Havertz was been fouled in the build-up.  Taylor decided against giving a foul when Kai Havertz was taken out by Rodrigo Bentancur.

He even clashed with Spurs coach Conte resulting in a yellow card for both coaches. Havertz then spurned a glorious chance to put Chelsea back in front but the Reece James reclaimed the lead in the 77th minute firing past Hugo Lloris from a pass by Raheem Sterling.However, Harry Kane's last-minute header not only equalised the score but earned Tottenham Hotspur a barely-deserved 2-2 draw.
