Tottenham and Chelsea could find themselves in trouble after a fractious night at Stamford Bridge with 12 players booked on Monday night. Eden Hazard scored a
late equaliser to secure a 2-2 draw and finally end any hope of Spurs winning
the Premier League title as Leicester became Premier League champions.But it was
a bad-tempered evening in west London with nine Tottenham players booked,
Chelsea picking up three yellow cards, Spurs midfielder Mousa Dembele appearing
to eye-gouge Diego Costa and Blues boss Guus Hiddink tumbling after a mass
scuffle at the final whistle. The nine cards is the most a team has received in
Premier League history and Spurs will be hit with an automatic fine from the
Football Association. Any team that gets six or more bookings during a game gets
charged and gets at least a £25,000 fine.It was a busy night for referee Mark
Clattenburg, who will be consulted on Tuesday morning and it is likely both
clubs will be charged with breaching the FAs Rule E20 - rules surrounding mass
confrontation.Both sets of players and backroom staff were involved in ugly
scenes in front of the tunnel at the end as Chelsea midfielder Cesc Fabregas,
whose hand had earlier been trod on by Erik Lamela, confronted Danny Rose with
Hiddink losing his footing. Carra on Dembele eye gouge Jamie Carragher believes
the Spurs players season is over As the brawl intensified, Tottenhams reserve
goalkeeper Michel Vorm clashed with Costa who was then grabbed from behind
by Jan Vertonghen as security staff attempted to restore order. Spurs boss
Mauricio Pochettino tried to diffuse the situation by checking on
Hiddink.Chelseas interim boss said: I took one of my players Fabregas down the
tunnel because there were words in Spanish and there were threatening words
[from the players] and this is a normal reaction.Even at my age, I had no
problem falling down! These incidents we mustnt have but in the end, it was lets
calm down. A night of high emotions for managers Mauricio Pochettino and Guus
Hiddink Defender Gary Cahill, scorer of Chelseas opener, gave his thoughts on
the melee to SSNHQ: I wasnt surprised - I always thought it was going to be like
that.Spurs striker Harry Kane added: Its the Premier League we are fighting for.
Its what we want to win. Theres going to be some challenges, it was a London
derby and the crowd were up for it and we needed to win - thats just
football.Chelsea centre-half John Terry said: It was a London derby we hadnt
lost in 26 years. It was always going to boil over. A couple of times, it got
out of hand but players are fighting for points and titles. Its emotions - thats
football. Dembele faces the prospect of a lengthy retrospective ban for his eye
gouge on Costa in the first half. Sky Sports pundit Jamie Carragher described
the act as shocking and said the Tottenham midfielders season was over.Dembeles
team-mate Dele Alli picked up a retrospective suspension last week for punching
West Broms Claudio Yacob.Pochettino could also be in trouble with the FA after
being involved in two touchline incidents, including going on to the pitch to
separate Chelsea winger Willian and left-back Rose as they clashed. Erik Lamela
and Cesc Fabregas were involved in several confrontations The Argentine boss
said: Maybe we didnt set a good example, but its a normal emotion, fighting on
the pitch.I was involved in all of it. I tried to be calm. But it was a derby,
we were fighting for the title and Chelsea were fighting to win the game. Its
not personal. Its football, we are men, they are men, we need to show we are
strong.Chelsea have been punished on three separate occasions this season by the
FA for failing to control players, with fines totalling £155,000. Spurs have
been punished once after their game against West Brom in December. Tottenham
