Chelsea fans escorted out of Tottenham Hotspur Stadium after celebrating Jadon Sancho goal
UGLY scenes erupted in the stands in Tottenham’s heated home derby with Chelsea.
Some Blues’ supporters were escorted out following their exuberant celebration of a Jadon Sancho goal.
Meanwhile, Chelsea heroes Cole Palmer and Enzo Fernandez were pelted by objects thrown from home supporters.
Tottenham fans reacted furiously to the antics from a few of their Chelsea counterparts after Sancho cut the visitors’ deficit to 2-1.
Dominic Solanke and Dejan Kulesvski had netted inside the first 11 minutes to leave Spurs flying.
But Sancho cut in from the left to fire home a low shot in off the post.
And the loanee from Manchester United continued to menace Spurs down the same flank.
Only Fraser Forster denied him early in the second period.
Palmer and Fernandez earlier had to delay taking set-pieces as missiles rained down.
Tottenham stewards intervened to quell the troublemakers in the stands.
England attacker Palmer was happy to laugh off the animosity.
And he later ignited more wild rejoicing – with a penalty equaliser on 61 minutes.
Fernandez too then took his own revenge – putting Chelsea in front with a screamer.
Palmer scores his second penalty of the game with a cheeky Panenka on 84 minutes for 4-1, before Son scored Tottenham’s third as it ended 4-3 to the visitors.
Supporters of the two clubs have clashed in the past.
And that apparent acrimony has at times also extended to the dugouts.
Two years ago then-Chelsea chief Thomas Tuchel and Antonio Conte, who managed Spurs three years after bossing the Blues, were caught up in an unsightly exchange over a handshake.
