Xabi Alonso is due to take his post-match press conference following Chelsea's Sydney Super Cup defeat against Tottenham in Australia.
Sandro Tonali got the ball rolling early on with a deflected strike into the back of the net. Estevao Willian was on hand to level the friendly not too long after when Jamie Gittens found his opposite winger with a cross to the far post.
While it was only a friendly, there was an undeniable feistiness to the London derby Down Under. Kevin Danso was shown a straight red card just minutes after coming on for the second-half at the Accor Stadium for denying Joao Pedro a goal scoring opportunity.
Richarlison scored a stoppage-time winner for 10-man Spurs. The game looked as if it was going to a penalty shootout before the Brazilian forward tapped the ball into an empty net.
Alonso is due to speak to the media any moment now. Bobby Vincent is live in Sydney to bring you word-by-word updates.
