Tottenham Hotspur fans were left displeased after their team struggled to create chances in their 2-2 draw against Chelsea in the Premier League on Sunday. Spurs were on the backfoot for most of the game and had to come from behind twice to take away a point from Stamford Bridge.

Antonio Conte's men were unable to make serious headway, losing control of the game early on. The Blues, on the other hand, gained the lion's share of possession and dictated the game for large parts.

While Tottenham eventually picked up and managed to draw the game, their fans took to Twitter to slam the players for their poor performances. One player facing the ire of the fans is Son Heung-min, and the Spurs faithful did not hold back in their disapproval of his lackluster display.

Here is a selection of tweets from unhappy Spurs supporters:

Antonio Conte will need to review the game and see how he might have improved his side's inability to pass out from the back with ease. Thomas Tuchel, however, will hope that his players continue with their momentum as the season progresses.

The Blues failed to secure all three points in their first home game of the new season, sharing the spoils with London rivals Tottenham Hotspur. The home side took the lead twice but could not hold back ex-manager Conte and his new side from snatching a point from the jaws of defeat.

Chelsea were the dominant side in the fixture and found the back of the net first, with Kalidou Koulibaly scoring his first Chelsea goal at Stamford Bridge. The goal came from a Marc Cucurella corner, with the Blues applying sustained pressure at that point.

Spurs, however, drew level in the second half, with Conte’s words at half-time likely pushing the away side to avoid defeat. Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg drew the north Londoners level in the 68th minute, with intelligent pressing allowing them to win the ball in the Chelsea box off Italian midfielder Jorginho.

The Blues got another opportunity to secure a win, with Reece James finding the back of the net in the 77th minute to restore the home side’s lead. However, Spurs captain Harry Kane broke Chelsea's hearts in injury time with an equalizer to ensure both sides would be inseparable on the day.

The fixture, however, saw some extra drama, with both managers getting sent off after the final whistle was blown. A disagreement between the managers caused some tension at the end of the game, but Spurs will be glad to have left the game having avoided defeat.
