Ross Barkley scored a late equaliser as Chelsea drew 2-2 with Manchester United - leading to a touchline altercation which saw Jose Mourinho dragged away from a flare-up in the mouth of the Stamford Bridge tunnel.
The former Blues boss has not won at his former ground since taking over at United and he was involved after the home bench erupted in celebrations at the late leveller.
The visitors had looked on course for a rare Premier League win in west London as an Anthony Martial brace cancelled out Antonio Rudiger's opener.
However, Barkley slammed in the last meaningful kick of the contest to secure a point, with all eyes then drawn to a spat between Mourinho and Chelsea's second assistant coach Marco Ianni.
Mourinho shook hands with Blues boss Maurizio Sarri at the final whistle but was jeered by the home supporters and responded by holding up three fingers to them at full-time, representing the trio of league titles he won as manager of the club.

It’s a big game for…
Ashley Young: He delivered the cross for Alexis Sanchez’s winning goal against Newcastle but it is in the other direction that the England international will have to demonstrate some improvement. With Eden Hazard his likely direct opponent, the 33-year-old will have his work cut out but he must offer more protection to the centre backs and David de Gea than he did against the Magpies.
Best stat…
18: Manchester United have lost 18 Premier League encounters against Chelsea, more than against any other side. In fact, the Red Devils have failed to win at Stamford Bridge in all competitions since October 2012.
Player to watch…
Jorginho: While Eden Hazard continues to drive Chelsea attacking play, it is the Italian who remains the fulcrum to Maurizio Sarri’s style of play. Ander Herrera has been utilised in recent years to track Belgian Hazard’s every movement, but Jorginho, who has made the most successful passes in the league this season, has the ability to dictate the tempo of the game and that will give Jose Mourinho further headaches in his attempts to stop Chelsea in their tracks.

12 minutes
Marcus Rashford pounces on a loose ball and looks to counter.
He tries to drive an ambitious cross to Romelu Lukaku but it evades everyone and Chelsea will have a throw.
13 minutes
A second foul in quick succession from Nemanja Matic on ex-teammate Eden Hazard and Matic is shown the first caution of the afternoon.
15 minutes
A bit of a lunge from Mateo Kovacic as Matic looks to storm forward.
Jose Mourinho is furious with Mike Dean's decision not to give the Croatian midfielder a yellow card but it is absolutely the right decision.
Ashley Young will deliver a 40 yard free-kick...
16 minutes
Luke Shaw collects Chelsea's clearance and Romelu Lukaku rises highest. He should perhaps do better with his header, looping it wide of the far post.
17 minutes
Anthony Martial is twice robbed by N'Golo Kante but still manages to force a corner.
Chelsea under a bit of pressure.
18 minutes
Chelsea deal with the corner relatively comfortably and Manchester United are forced to go back to David De Gea.
A bright start to this game with both teams moving the ball at pace.

GOAL! CHELSEA 1-0 MANCHESTER UNITED (Antonio Rudiger, 21 minutes)
Not many would have foreseen Chelsea's opener coming from a corner.
Willian's out swinger arcs to about the penalty spot where Antonio Rudiger has timed his run superbly, breaking completely free from marker Paul Pogba and powerfully directing his header into the far corner to the right of David De Gea's despairing dive.
23 minutes
Mateo Kovacic shows his ability to accelerate as Eden Hazard creates a huge hole for him to run in to.
A heavy touch allows Manchester United to recover.
The replay of the Rudiger goal really doesn't cover Paul Pogba in glory. He just completely loses touch with the German centre-back, falling asleep as Rudiger makes his run.
25 minutes
Mike Dean keeps his whistle by his side after one choice challenge apiece for each side.
The home crowd are into this one.
