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.
