Harry Kane headed a last-gasp equaliser to earn Tottenham Hotspur a barely-deserved 2-2 draw in a feisty London derby at Chelsea.

Reece James seemed to have sealed the points for the hosts with a 77th-minute strike but Kane rose to head home a corner in the sixth minute of stoppage time.

Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel and his Spurs counterpart Antonio Conte, a former Chelsea boss, were both shown red cards after the final whistle as tempers boiled over on a sweltering afternoon in west London.

Centre back Kalidou Koulibaly marked his home debut in style by volleying Chelsea in front from a corner in the 19th minute and the hosts totally dominated the opening period. Chelsea remained in the ascendancy in the second half and should have had the points wrapped up but were rocked when Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg equalised in the 68th minute.

Follow all the reaction as Chelsea draw with Spurs in the first ‘top-six derby’ of the season:

Chelsea 2-1 Tottenham

83 mins: N’Golo Kante goes down and seemingly does himself an injury. The medical staff are on the pitch for Chelsea and time is ebbing out of the game.

Thomas Tuchel looks set to make another change.

Chelsea 2-1 Tottenham

80 mins: Yves Bissouma and Ivan Perisic are brought on by Antonio Conte to get through these final 10 minutes. Conte’s changes worked once, can Spurs get themselves another one?

Cesar Azpilicueta is also one, he’s replaced Jorginho for Chelsea.

GOAL! Chelsea 2-1 Tottenham (77’, James)⚽️

77 mins: Chelsea are back in front! Tottenham get caught in possession deep in their own half and N’Golo Kante comes away with the ball.

He then slide a perfect pass into the box for Raheem Sterling who draws Ben Davies out of position before laying it off to Reece James.

The space opens up for James on the right side of the penalty area and he blasts a first time effort into the back of the net!

Chelsea 1-1 Tottenham

74 mins: Chance! Chelsea should be back in front! Reece James comes down the right wing as Chelsea step back onto the front foot. He delivers a perfect cross to Kai Havertz in the box but the forward volleys his effort wide of the right-hand post!

How’s he missed that one?

Chelsea 1-1 Tottenham

71 mins: Antonio Conte’s celebrations in the dugout cause the Chelsea support staff to respond and there’s a bit of a barney that the referee has to deal with.

The goal is checked and stands but Thomas Tuchel and Conte are both shown yellow cards.

GOAL! Chelsea 1-1 Tottenham (68’, Hojbjerg)⚽️

68 mins: Spurs are level and it’s all kicking off! Harry Kane switches the play with a pass over to Son on the right side. He knocks the ball down to Dejan Kulusevski who brings the ball into the area and loses it to Jorginho.

Kulusevski pokes it away from the Chelsea man and Ben Davies takes over. He lays the ball off to Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg who drills one at goal and beats Hugo Lloris from outside the box.

Chelsea 1-0 Tottenham

66 mins: Antonio Conte is issuing instructions wildly on the sidelines as Chelsea get into the box once more. Sterling flicks a cross over the six-yard area but can’t find a team-mate and Spurs boot it clear.

Kulusevski attempts to sweep down the right side but gets sandwiched between Koulibaly and Cucurella winning Tottenham a free kick.

Chelsea 1-0 Tottenham

63 mins: Chance! This is Spurs’ best opportunity of the game. It’s Hojbjerg, I think, who threads a pass through the Chelsea defence and plays in Harry Kane who spins off the shoulder to sneak in behind.

Kane carries the ball into the box and guides his effort across goal. He’s aiming for the far bottom corner but puts it wide by mere inches.

He can’t believe he’s missed there.

Chelsea 1-0 Tottenham

60 mins: Chance! Massive moment for Raheem Sterling.

Ruben Loftus-Cheek drives into the box from the right side and shifts inside. He goes past two, three defenders but can’t get a shot away from the middle of the penalty area.

The ball comes loose and Sterling collects it, he rolls the ball onto his right foot and blasts an effort over the crossbar!

Chelsea 1-0 Tottenham

57 mins: Antonio Conte goes to the bench and brings on Richarlison for his first outing in a Tottenham shirt. Ryan Sessegnon comes off which also may bring a change of system for Spurs.

Ben Davies will shift over to left-back and Spurs could move to a back four.
