Tottenham set an unwanted Premier League record on Monday evening, as they had a staggering NINE players booked during their ill-tempered clash with Chelsea.

Spurs surrendered a two-goal lead to draw 2-2 at Stamford Bridge - thus handing the Premier League title to Leicester City - but the match was marred by a number of clashes between players.

Two on-pitch brawls erupted during the encounter, with Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino involved, and Guus Hiddink apparently shoved to the ground after full-time.

Spurs were subsequently shown a record nine yellow cards, with Jan Vertonghen, Danny Rose, Kyle Walker, Eric Dier, Mousa Dembele, Erik Lamela, Christian Eriksen, Harry Kane and Ryan Mason all entering the referee's book.


Tottenham will now face an automatic fine from the Football Association, while Dembele may also face retrospective disciplinary action from the FA, after appearing to gouge the eye of Chelsea striker Diego Costa.

The Blues, meanwhile, had three players booked, as Branislav Ivanovic, John Obi Mikel and Willian were all carded.
