    Sky Sports commentator Peter Drury summed up Tottenham's frantic Premier League contest against Chelsea with 11 simple words.

    Ange Postecoglou's men went down to nine players after taking the lead through Dejan Kulusevski before Cole Palmer levelled from the spot after Christian Romero was sent off – with Destiny Udogie joining him in the changing room 10 minutes into the second half.

    Chelsea began pushing for a winner as Nicolas Jackson missed a sitter with his head from a set-piece, before Drury said: "Not much of what is going on here is making sense."

    The first-half also included injuries to James Maddison and Micky van de ven with Reece James escaping a red card for an elbow after Romero's lash out and Udogie's lunge were not deemed worthy of sendings off.

    The five disallowed goals came for Son Heung-min, Raheem Sterling, Moises Caicedo, Jackson and finally Eric Dier.

    Spurs ended up with only three of their starting outfield players having used all of the five subs with a third of the game still to play.

    Laughing about the hectic nature of the match, Gary Neville said while alongside Drury: "These games are following me around. I'm going to ask for next weekend off!"

    The lead commentator then added during the final game of the Premier League weekend: "You reach the point where you don't believe your eyes."

    Chelsea took the lead after Jackson made no mistake from Sterling's sqaure pass – the result was then put beyond doubt as the forward got his second following another simple layoff by Conor Gallagher – and his third after rounding the goalkeeper in additional time.

    Chelsea have climbed to 10th spot by winning their fourth gane of the season to go with their three draws and four defeats after a tricky start.
