TOTTENHAM and Chelsea players came to blows in a feisty brawl as Thursday night’s London derby boiled over right before half time.
Players from both sides were involved in a tussle near the Tottenham penalty area after Cristian Romero shoved Levi Colwill to the ground.

Tempers first flared after Colwill put a strong challenge in on Micky van de Ven as Spurs tried to counter.
The challenge was deemed to be a foul by the referee, but Spurs players were still unhappy.
Almost every Spurs player took issue to the foul, throwing their hands up in the air in protest.
But Romero was especially displeased and decided to take action with Colwill himself.
The Argentine centre-back stormed over to Colwill and steam-rolled him to the ground in frustration.
That then sparked Chelsea players to stand up for their teammate and a mass brawl ensued.
Trevoh Chalobah confronted Romero, before James Maddison, Rodrigo Bentancur and Djed Spence began trying to rip him away from the situation.
From there, players piled into a melee on the pitch, while referee Craig Pawson was left helpless given the sheer number of players involved.

After things had calmed down slightly, Pawson reached into his pocket to start brandishing some punishments.
Colwill was fortunate to not be booked for his initial foul that prevented the counter attack, while Chalobah and Romero both landed themselves a yellow card for their involvement.
