Tottenham vice captain Cristian Romero is at the thick of chaos as he sparks a massive brawl against Chelsea right before half-time.
It has been a poor performance so far, with Spurs registering 0 shots on target in the first 45 minutes.
They almost conceded straight into kick-off and have faced constant threat from the Chelsea attack since. Vicario also pulled off a stunning save to deny Sancho in the 44th minute.
Chelsea dominated the shots, shots on target, possession, with Spurs second in every aspect in that first half.
Perhaps the only positive was that the team showed more passion than they did in the entire game during a braw right before half-time.
Cristian Romero sparks a London derby fight
Cristian Romero, known for his temper, sparked the confrontation after he threw Levi Colwill to the ground.
Both Spurs and Chelsea players pushed and shoved each other as the referee watched on.
Once they calmed, Craig Pawson showed yellow cards to Romero and Chalobah.

Romero’s return from injury has been a major boost for Spurs alongside Micky van de Ven’s.
The pair are an extremely vital part of Ange Postecoglou’s side that has missed them dearly during their long absences.
While Romero’s temper can often be a liability, he has improved that part of his game massively, specially since being included in the leadership group by the manager.
Despite the Argentine being a key part of the Spurs team, his future at the club remains uncertain with both Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid said to be interested in signing him.
The club wants to tie him down to a new contract, however, will reportedly be open to selling him if does not sign a new deal by the end of the season.
