Chelsea match against spurs ended in a 4-4 draw as Spurs posed a dramatic fightback when they were 3-1 down. Grants side lost ground in the tittle race and failed to capitalize over Arsenals slump in form, now they are five points behind the leaders and two points behind the gunners.

A game which was fast paced and produced eight goals in a thriller. Fabio cappello was present in the stands watching england stars in a thrilling derby. He witnessed pace of Aaron Lennon up against Ashley Cole down one flank.

Chelsea took the lead through Drogba though he missed the free kick he scored through a powerful header from Terry's cross, but the spurs leveled through Woodgate when Jenas took the corner. Woodgate out jumped Drogba and headed the equalizer in the 11th minute.

Joe cole was at his creative best and he created the second goal in the 20th minute when he stormed past the Spur's defenders and found Essien who chipped the ball over the charging Robinson.

The match was full of intensity and Ashley cole committed a two leg tackle on Hutton and escaped with only a yellow card and the home side was not happy with this and they became furious when Jenas was the victim of Lampard's tackle and got away without any booking.

Seven minutes into second half Joe cole increased Chelsea's lead when Mekelele fed him and J.cole out powered Chimbonda the ball hit Robinson but looped in the post.

Spurs leveled the match through a header from Berbatov and an unmarked Huddlestone scored the equlizer from Keane's corner.

Joe Cole scored his second in the 80th minute finding the top corner after getting past Chimbonda again - but Keane earned a point two minutes from time.

Keane scored from a ball which landed at the edge of the box the ball landed from Ricardo Carvalho's back, Keane curled the ball into the top corner of the post.

Berbatov could have won the match for Tottenham but his shot was cancelled by a superb save from Cudicini

Now Chelsea face their tittle rivals Arsenal on Sunday.
