A last-gasp balancer from Harry Kane saw Tottenham guarantee a scarcely merited 2-2 draw at Chelsea on Sunday evening.
Kalidou Koulibaly was allowed to pound in the opener Chelsea justified before Tottenham attracted level the final part through Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg's strike from distance.
Chelsea went on again in the 77th moment as they benefited from a bedlam with all due respect for Reece James to control in at the back post.
Be that as it may, Ivan Perisic's corner was gone after by Kane to level in the 95th moment, with the England chief skimming a header into the furthest corner with a slight ignite James.
Directors Thomas Tuchel and Antonio Conte were threatening all through the game and clashed at full time following a disagreeable execution from ref Anthony Taylor.
A flooding N'Golo Kante sent Raheem Sterling chasing a through ball and he pulled it back to Kai Havertz, who brought a fingertip save from Hugo Lloris with the game's most memorable opportunity of a lifetime.
The Blues started to lead the pack in astounding fashion from the subsequent corner, with Marc Cucurella's drifted ball in finding a plain Kalidou Koulibaly to lash in on the volley.
Chelsea ruled belonging during the primary half, keeping a level Spurs wrote in their own half, however they had Eduoard Mendy to thank for keeping Ryan Sessegnon under control after the wing back had sprung the offside snare.
Tottenham began the last part speedier as Kane chose Son Heung-min over the top, however the South Korean couldn't get any power behind his strike.
The breathtaking Ruben Loftus-Cheek almost slalomed his direction through to the Spurs objective and it ultimately tumbled to Sterling, who lifted over in the midst of a few frenzied six-yard box guarding from the guests.
Just minutes after the fact, Spurs ought to have drawn level. Kane moved through the Chelsea protection to get in on objective, yet at the same uniquely hauled wide.
Having developed somewhat into the game past the hour, Antonio Conte's side attracted level dubious fashion.
Kai Havertz hoped to have been fouled on the counter by Rodrigo Bentancur, yet official Taylor pointed to a touch from the Uruguayan and played on. From the subsequent play, Spurs climbed the field and Ben Davies teed up Hojbjerg to drive in from fresh for the adjuster.
That quarrel stirred up the fire in Stamford Bridge and Chelsea exploited that unfriendly environment to take one more merited lead.
Spikes were gotten all the way out of position at the back and Sterling played in James, who lifted the ball past Lloris to give Chelsea what seemed to be a merited win.
Be that as it may, Kane took in at the passing to even out things up at 2-2, with the full-time whistle igniting scenes of aggression on the touchlines, with Tuchel and Conte trading pleasantries.
The outcome steers Tottenham into fourth with four points, three spots above Chelsea because of their unrivaled objective contrast at this beginning phase.
