Don't let your prejudice get in the way of the facts. If Spurs had kept their heads, they would be waking up this morning with their title hopes still just about alive.
I don't know what possessed them in the second half, they appeared intent on kicking everything that moved apart from the ball. Even normally sensible players joined In on the act.
To end up with nine yellow cards from a referee who hates Chelsea and was bending over backwards to be lenient, takes some doing. Yes, there were some theatrics, but looking at a compilation of the disgraceful fouls committed, it was lucky that there were no serious injuries. Some OTT reactions from a few Chelsea players, but the fouls were real enough !
