Tottenham midfield enforcer Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg refused to celebrate Spurs' 96th-minute equaliser at Chelsea but admitted it was “sweet for the heart.”
In the latest Battle of Stamford Bridge, against a backdrop of brawling managers and no love lost, Harry Kane's header in added time gave Spurs a rare point on a ground where they have only won once in 38 games.
Hojbjerg, whose controversial equaliser had earlier made it 1-1, conceded Tottenham “lost control of the game” for long periods of a feisty contest. But under previous regimes, it is hard to envisage Spurs producing the required levels of grit to salvage something from a derby where they have rarely prospered.
