WE THOUGHT we had seen the game of the season after Chelsea beat Spurs 4-1 last Monday evening. We were wrong.

Sunday’s astonishing match here at Stamford Bridge eclipsed it, as former Manchester City attacker Cole Palmer came back to haunt his former boss Pep Guardiola with a 95th-minute penalty to salvage a point.

After another extraordinary, action-packed 90 minutes, it was honours even in West London, with the sides sharing eight goals between them in a dramatic, frantic, and thrilling Premier League clash in front of 39,532 enthralled fans.
