Tottenham and Chelsea played out a mad opening half of Premier League football which saw the ball in the net six times and three strong red card shouts amid total chaos
"Chaos, chaos, carnage" declared Sky Sports commentator Peter Drury as the teams trudged down the tunnel for half-time.
There was controversy elsewhere too. Manchester United ’s opening goal at Fulham was chalked off for a decision that adjudged the offside Harry Maguire to be interfering with play while Sheffield United’s late penalty winner over Wolves was tinged with controversy. But fans had seen nothing yet. Minutes later, Heung-Min Son thought he had doubled the Spurs lead but his effort was ruled out for a marginal offside call. That was close, but it was only the start of a scarcely believable period of chaos.
That was Chelsea’s second goal in quickfire succession that was ruled out, but the Blues did get a reprieve as Romero’s rash challenge inside the area saw the Argentine international sent-off and Cole Palmer dutifully converted the penalty. The Blues thought they had the lead minutes later after Sterling broke through and provided Jackson with a goal, but it was once more correctly disallowed for offside.
