Thomas Tuchel and Antonio Conte were sent off in a spicy London derby between Chelsea and Tottenham at Stamford Bridge.
The two managers had already clashed earlier in the fixture and had to be pulled apart following a controversial goal given to Spurs.
Conte had celebrated in Tuchel's face as the German complained to the fourth official, leading to a melee in the dugout.

And it all kicked off again at full-time when the two coaches shook hands and Tuchel refused to let go, pulling in the Italian who responded with fury.
As each team's staff and players separated them, referee Anthony Taylor – who had already booked the pair – sent them off.
The initial argument was caused by Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg scoring an equaliser for Tottenham just moments after Rodrigo Bentancur appeared to foul Kai Havertz. Tuchel was raging with the officials as Spurs went up the other end to score.
And Conte celebrated wildly in front of the emotional Tuchel, whose anger turned to the Italian – who is not one to back down himself. It led to a fracas on the touchline including the substitutes and the coaches, one of whom was booked by Taylor.
The fury was still there at full-time when both sides clashed at the touchline after Tuchel had further words with Conte as the referee rushed over to brandish the red card.
