TOTTENHAM 4 CHELSEA 4

Robbie Keane scored a dramatic late equaliser, as Tottenham came from behind three times to derail Chelsea's title hopes in an incredible eight-goal thriller.

Didier Drogba put Chelsea in front after only three minutes with his first goal since Chelsea were beaten by Spurs in the Carling Cup final.

And there were more reminders of the Wembley final when Jonathon Woodgate headed the equaliser from a Jeramine Jenas free-kick 10 minutes later.

The impressive Joe Cole then turned the game Chelsea's way, setting up Michael Essien to restore Chelsea's lead.

But his namesake Ashley caught everyone's attention for the wrong reasons, catching Alan Hutton just below the knee with a high, studs-up challenge just before half-time.

The crowd and Spurs' bench screamed for a red card, but referee Mike Riley pulled out only a yellow card.

And Cole petulantly turned his back to the refere - an act that encompasses the lack of respect for officials the FA are trying to stamp out.

The attention was back on Joe Cole early in the second half as his shot deflected in off the luckless Paul Robinson to make it 3-1.

It looked like game over.

But Spurs refused to lie down and pulled one back on the hour as Dimitar Berbatov headed past Carlo Cudicini.

And Tom Huddlestone sent White Hart Lane into raptures with a magnificent finish to bring the scores level after 75 minutes.

But Joe Cole, putting in a fantastic performance in front of watching England manager Fabio Capello, popped again to fire a fourth past Robinson with ten minutes remaining.

Just when it looked like Spurs were beaten, a long punt bounced off Ricardo Carvalho and fell at the feet of Robbie Keane after 88 minutes.

The Irishman has been widely criticised in the papers since his strop at being substituted against Man City.

But he showed why he should still be on the field in the final minutes, as he looked up and curled a fabulous right-footed shot into the top corner past Cudicini.

And Spurs could have dented Chelsea's title hopes even further in stoppage time, as Berbatov brilliantly worked space for himself in the box.

Only a world-class save from Cudicini ensured there was no winner, in a thoroughly good advert for the Premier League.
