Jamie Carragher called it "box office", commentator Peter Drury said it was "carnage and chaos".
After a weekend of more managerial ranting about video assistant referees (VAR), referee Michael Oliver and his PGMOL boss Howard Webb were probably hoping for a quiet London derby.
No chance…
In 45 minutes - with an extra 12 minutes added on - there were countless VAR interventions in Tottenham's match with Chelsea, including four disallowed goals, three red card checks and a penalty.
The second half had more goals, albeit slightly less mayhem as Nicolas Jackson ended up scoring a hat-trick in Chelsea's 4-1 win.
