Fixtures

In
what
turned
out
to
be
an
ill-tempered
London
derby,
Kane
scored
a
dramatic
96^th-minute
equaliser
as
Spurs
and
Blues
shared
points
at
Stamford
Bridge.
Spurs
came
from
behind
twice
to
deny
Chelsea
full
points
at
home.

Antonio
Conte
had
twice
looked
set
to
finish
empty
handed
on
his
Stamford
Bridge
return,
with
Kalidou
Koulibaly
opening
the
scoring
with
a
sumptuous
volley
on
his
home
debut
for
Chelsea
early
on.

Pierre-Emile
Hojbjerg
levelled
with
a
long-range
strike
in
the
second
half,
but
Chelsea
again
looked
to
be
on
course
for
the
win
when
Reece
James
side-footed
home
after
racing
onto
Raheem
Sterling’s
pass.

But
Kane
was
on
hand
to
head
home
from
a
late
corner
and
spark
wild
celebrations
from
Conte,
who
was
promptly
sent
off
amid
a
touchline
clash
as
Spurs
claimed
a
potentially
vital
point
from
a
trip
to
a
likely
rival
for
Champions
League
qualification.

Following
the
match,
tensions
boiled
over
as
Tuchel
and
Conte’s
post-match
handshake
turned
into
a
brawl
with
both
handed
red
cards.
The
confrontation
following
the
match,
saw
both
being
pulled
apart
as
it
turned
into
a
full
blown
confrontation.

Forest
clinch
first
EPL
win

Earlier
in
the
day,
Nottingham
Forest
clinched
their
first
home
game
in
the
Premier
League
in
23
years.
Luck
was
on
their
side
as
Forest
clinched
a
1-0
win
over
West
Ham
on
Sunday.

The
City
Ground
was
abuzz
as
Taiwo
Awoniyi’s
first-half
strike
sealed
the
game
in
Forest’s
favour.
Off-season
signing
Awoniyi’s
scrappy
goal
saw
Forest
collect
their
first
points
since
returning
to
the
top-flight.

However,
West
Ham’s
players
will
wonder
how
they
left
without
at
least
a
point.
Declan
Rice
had
a
65th-minute
penalty
saved
by
on-loan
Forest
goalkeeper
Dean
Henderson,
Pablo
Fornals
and
Said
Benrahma
both
hit
the
underside
of
the
crossbar
with
long-range
shots
in
the
second
half,
and
Benrahma
had
a
goal
ruled
out
after
video
review
late
in
the
first
half.

Then
there
was
the
stunning
save
by
Henderson
to
deny
Tomas
Soucek
and
the
goal-line
clearance
by
the
scrambling
Neco
Williams
to
keep
out
Kurt
Zouma’s
header
in
the
83rd
minute
as
West
Ham
pressed
relentlessly
for
an
equalizer.
While
West
Ham
has
now
opened
with
back-to-back
losses,
Forest
is
off
the
mark
after
starting
its
first
season
in
the
Premier
League
since
1999
with
a
2-0
loss
at
Newcastle
last
weekend.
