Chelsea players' conduct in the spotlight as world laughs at Spurs

The fallout from the ill-tempered match on Monday between Chelsea and Tottenham continues.

 The 2-2 draw, which ended Tottenham's title challenge, saw referee Mark Clattenburg dish out a record 19 yellow cards to Tottenham, including their physio, coach driver and former club legend Steve Perryman.

Clattenburg has been criticised for failing to send off a number of Tottenham players, some of whom are almost certain to receive retroactive bans.

Chelsea players have also been criticised for their incendiary behaviour, with many Twitter users angry at Cesc Fabregas in particular for feigning death during half an hour before a coroner pronounced him alive.

However, many Chelsea supporters have voiced approval of their team's spirited fightback from 2-0 down. Fan club spokesman Raymond Cist said it "brought a tear to my eye to see our players throwing tantrums and haranguing the ref like in the good old days of Mourinho."
