Summary
The handshake that shook the world...
Matt Davies-Adams has Liam Twomey and Sam Parkin alongside him to *try* and sum up the fiery, feisty and controversy-filled 2-2 draw with Tottenham at Stamford Bridge. There's an examination of the officiating, praise for the extraordinary Reece James - and a look at what Chelsea could and should have done (within their control) to take all three points.
We have a round up of some of the lingering transfer news - with emerging links to Anthony Gordon and the ongoing pursuit of Wesley Fofana. Plus, we discuss the news that Michael Edwards has reportedly removed himself from the running to become the club's new sporting director.
We'll be back on Wednesday to look ahead to the trip to Elland Road.
Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
