From the source

Tottenham Hotspur have been told they were lucky not to also be reduced to 10 men in their 2-0 win over Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.

A controversial second-half incident on 71 minutes in West London led to a major scuffle between the two teams. After being fouled by Mateus Fernandes, Cole Palmer reacted aggressively to the Tottenham star.

Palmer connected with his hip on Fernandes’ face, pushing the Portuguese star back to the floor, but referee Chris Kavanagh only gave a yellow card to the Chelsea man for the incident.
