  • View from SunSport's Charlie Wyett in North London

    The noise inside the stadium here is deafening and little wonder due to these two goals.

    Although a large number of Spurs want their manager out, the atmosphere was also decent before the game.

    The objects being thrown on the pitch were the pieces of card used for the tifo before the game.

  • Tottenham 2-1 Chelsea

    41. It has been quite an even game in all.

    Cucurella with the two assists for the Tottenham goals aside, we would probably be all square.
