Chelsea given controversial Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang verdict as Barcelona reveal price

Chelsea fans and Graeme Souness aren't the best of friends right now. The former Liverpool captain was one of the massive minority that agreed with some of Anthony Taylor's controversial decisions against Thomas Tuchel's side, adding that "the referee had a fabulous game."

During the match, had Chelsea been able to finish the game off earlier, the Blues might have been out of sight before Harry Kane's late equaliser, but that is a tale all too familiar for Tuchel. The German has seen his side consistently struggle to put matches out of sight, often seeing Chelsea made to pay for their lax finishing and creativity.

With 11 draws, seven of which came at Stamford Bridge - the second most in the league at home - Chelsea's ability to get themselves out of sight cost them a more sustained title challenge last year. Although they were largely excellent against Spurs, dominating for the majority of the match, with better finishing there might not have been the scope for a nervy and ultimately damaging ending.
