Chelsea fans start petition to have referee banned
Following Sunday's 2-2 draw between Chelsea and London rivals Tottenham, thousands of people signed a petition asking for referee Anthony Taylor to be barred from judging any more Chelsea matches.

At Stamford Bridge, Spurs twice overcame goals-down situations by scoring goals that were the result of disputed calls.

Pierre Emile-strike Hojbjerg's from well beyond the box, which came soon after Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel thought Rodrigo Bentancur's challenge on Kai Havertz should have produced in a free kick, was the game's opening goal.

Even after that, Edouard Mendy was unable to see the Dane's shot since Richarlison appeared to be in an offside position.

Ivan Perisic's disputed second attempt of a corner allowed Harry Kane to score a dramatic equaliser after Reece James had given the home team the lead once more. During the first half, Cristian Romero seemed to grab Marc Cucurella's hair in the box, but no foul was signalled.

The petition states that Anthony Taylor "has continued to make huge judgements against Chelsea over the years in big matches," and it currently has over 83,000 signatures.

Following their heated exchange at full-time, Tuchel and Spurs manager Antonio Conte both received red cards.
