Stamford Bridge played host to a thriller on Sunday afternoon as Chelsea and Tottenham played out a fiery 2-2 draw.
Chelsea took the lead twice in a game they deserved to win but the Blues will feel hard done by after a controversial first goal for Spurs, in which Kai Havertz was fouled by Rodrigo Bentacur before Antonio Conte’s side scored.
That led to the game getting heated, especially on the sideline with the two managers, but Romero was not too far from the tension either.
The Argentine had a battle with Havertz within the game, whilst the defender also pulled on Marc Cucurella’s hair during a corner before the Spurs equaliser.
Once that equaliser went in Romero screamed in Reece James’ face, another moment in a match full of heated clashes.

James should have nutted him
So Romero got stamped on in the 9th minute . James did the most cynical foul on Son and only got a yellow . He then should have received a second for going into the crowd to celebrate their second goal ( I do t agree with that Law, But it is a bootable offence) . Bentacaur toed the ball and AT was in a great position to see it . Richarlison was offside , but not interfering with the goalies line of vision , WHEN Holjberg took his shot ,and as he never touched it ,he was deemed not to be interfering . Re the hair pull , yes he could have been sent off , but as the ball wasn’t in play ,the corner woukd still have to be taken .
