A hot classic and a crossover rarely seen in the Premier League between two of the best coaches in the world. Thomas Tuchel and Antonio Conte came face to face in the agonizing 2-2 that Tottenham stole from Chelsea, as a guest, for the second round of the Premier League.
Koulibaly and James gave the Blues the lead twice, but the team that had Argentinian Cristian Cuti Romero as their starters reached parity in both with Højbjerg and Harry Kane, the latter in the sixth minute of injury time.
And when it was all over, both coaches went to shake hands, but Tuchel held his right hand tight and did not let go of the Italian, asking him to look him in the eye. Tremendous.
