Spurs and Chelsea served up one of the most dramatic and chaotic matches in Premier League history on Monday night, but was it the most eventful EVER? 

Spurs 1-4 Chelsea, 2023/24

One of the Premier League's most eventful matches. Two red cards and five yellows were awarded, five goals were disallowed or overturned by VAR at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, 21 minutes of added time were played and Mauricio Pochettino enjoyed a memorable return to his former club, who missed the chance to go back to the top of the league.

 
Battle of the Bridge, 2015/16

Last night's match was in some ways reminiscent of another classic between Spurs and Chelsea - the Battle of the Bridge. Chelsea came from two goals down to get a draw that stopped Spurs's title challenge and confirmed Leicester City as champions. Tempers flared thoughout the match, with nine Spurs players booked, a Premier League record, while there were altercations on the touchline, and Mousa Dembele received a ban for gouging Diego Costa's eye.

Man City 3-2 QPR, 2011/12

The most iconic finish to a match in Premier League history. Needing a win to achieve their first title, City were 2-1 down going into stoppage time. Edin Dzeko equalised in the second minute of added time before up stepped you know who. The rest is history.

Newcastle 4-4 Arsenal, 2010/11

Newcastle were 4-0 down and somehow came back with four second-half goals to secure a point. Cheick Tiote's incredible volleyed equaliser lives long in the memory.

Liverpool 4-4 Arsenal, 2008/09

Who could forget Andrey Arshavin's four-goal haul at Anfield? Arshavin was the star and thought he'd won it, making it 4-3 in the 90th minute. But there was still time for a late, late Liverpool leveller.
