Guus Hiddink had to lambaste a member of his own backroom staff as the two benches clashed at the end of the ill-tempered London derby between Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur on Monday night.
The final stages of the game descended into farce after title-chasing Spurs had blown a two goal lead to allow the Blues back into the game - the draw meant that Leicester City were crowned Premier League champions.
As the final whistle blew both sets of players and staff were involved in a pushing and shoving and shouting argument, with 69-year-old Hiddink pushed over into the dugout and Diego Costa accused of biting Jan Vertonghen, although that looks unfounded.

Chelsea 2 Tottenham 2 player ratings Cahill - 8 out of 10 Returned from illness to enjoy a superb game. The defender missed an early chance to score but made up for it when he netted in the 57th minute to get Chelsea back in the game. Was solid defensively too.

Chelsea 2 Tottenham 2 player ratings Fabregas - 7 out of 10 Started in the No.10 role with Eden Hazard being dropped to the bench, and proved dangerous up front. Missed a great chance to get on the scoresheet but tamely drove Costa's pass wide.

Chelsea 2 Tottenham 2 player ratings Pedro - 5 out of 10 His pace gave Walker much work to deal with, but ultimately he didn't have the impact Hiddink would have wanted him to have. Replaced by Hazard at the break.

Chelsea 2 Tottenham 2 player ratings Diego Costa - 7 out of 10 Was sharp, patient and aggressive in his play and turned Spurs' defence inside out at times - providing the assist for Hazard's equaliser. Booked for clashing with Vertonghen.
Chelsea 2 Tottenham 2 player ratings Best off the bench: Hazard - 8 out of 10 Proved the difference after coming on for Pedro and scoring the all-important equaliser that ended Tottenham's hopes of winning the title.
Chelsea 2 Tottenham 2 player ratings Lloris - 6 out of 10 The Tottenham captain was never truly tested, with many of Chelsea's efforts coming from outside the box, and he couldn't do too much about Cahill's powerful effort that flew through a crowded penalty box.

Chelsea 2 Tottenham 2 player ratings Walker - 6 out of 10 Impressed when going forwards as he set up several chances from his position on the right flank, although he struggled at times to deal with Pedro's pace in the first half - which earned him a booking. He could also have had one earlier for a petulant kick on the Spaniard. Made a crucial last-ditch clearance to deny Chelsea.

Chelsea 2 Tottenham 2 player ratings Alderweireld - 4 out of 10 Was solid for much of the game and worked well alongside Vertonghen to frustrate Costa.

Chelsea 2 Tottenham 2 player ratings Vertonghen - 6 out of 10 Tread a fine line for much of the game with some of his defending, although it did earn him a yellow for pulling Costa's shirt. However, he did enough to keep the Chelsea striker at bay.

Chelsea 2 Tottenham 2 player ratings Dier - 6 out of 10 Started the game despite suffering concussion in Spurs' 1-1 draw with West Brom last week, and his inclusion paid off - with the midfielder starting the move that led to Kane's opener. However, he will feel disappointed not to have marked Cahill closer in the build-up to Chelsea's goal.

Chelsea 2 Tottenham 2 player ratings Dembele - 4 out of 10 Lucky to go unpunished after being seen appearing to eye-gouge Costa during the touchline fracas, but did well to link up defence with attack. However, he let himself down by failing to stop Hazard from running clear and equalising.

Chelsea 2 Tottenham 2 player ratings Lamela - 6 out of 10 This was another game in which the Argentine showed just why he has become such an important member of Tottenham's team. He was heavily involved in much of Spurs' play and was rewarded when he delivered the pass that Kane scored. Booked.

Chelsea 2 Tottenham 2 player ratings Son - 8 out of 10 Replaced the suspended Dele Alli and, despite wasting an early chance when he shot wide - much to Pochettino's anger on the touchline - he scored Tottenham's second in fine fashion. Brought off for Mason after 64 minutes.
Chelsea 2 Tottenham 2 player ratings Kane - 8 out of 10 Scored his 25th league goal in fine fashion after timing his run to perfection and dribbling past Begovic to hand Spurs the lead. Was then involved in the second goal. Another impressive performance from the striker.

As Hiddink looked to calm the situation, pushing his players towards the dressing room, he also was forced to shout out massage therapist Manoel Ribeiro.
"Who do you think you are? Remember who the boss is!" Hiddink is reported to have shouted at the Brazilian, who is said to have been arguing alongside Chelsea striker Diego Costa.
Tottenham reserve goalkeeper Michel Vorm was another at the centre of the furious row, defending team-mate Danny Rose after Chelsea players accused the left-back of being the one to push Hiddink to the ground; footage shows that the incident was purely accidental.
Hiddink falls into dugout after Chelsea Tottenham match The Football Association has so far been quite on the matter, although they are expected to bring the hammer down on the two clubs for failing to control their players.
A record number of yellow cards, nine from Spurs and three from Chelsea, were shown by referee Mark Clattenburg during the game, with a couple of Tottenham players lucky that they were not sent off.
The FA have already requested TV footage from BBC and Sky Sports, while Chelsea will also hand over CCTV footage from the tunnel.
