Guy Fawkes weekend is ending in more fireworks at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium during one of the craziest first halves the Premier League has ever seen - but fans are all in agreement over one thing.
Dejan Kulusevski opened the scoring for the hosts after just six minutes, before Son Heung-min looked to have doubled their advantage, only for his goal to be chalked off for the narrowest of offsides.
Cole Palmer then levelled the scores from the penalty spot after Cristian Romero clattered into Enzo Fernandez in the 18-yard-box and was subsequently shown a red card.
But supporters reckon the Argentine defender should have been off even earlier after he lashed out at Levi Colwill on the deck, with VAR not interested.

However, Spurs could, and perhaps should be down to nine men after Destiny Udogie escaped a red card in the first half.
The Italy international lunged in on Raheem Sterling with a reckless two-footed challenge, for which he was only shown a yellow card.

Offering his twopence on the incidents, Gary Neville said on commentary: "Udogie should be sent off. You don't have a to break someone's legs to get a red card."
Discussing Romero's challenge, he exclaimed: "I'm 50/50. I've got a parrot on one shoulder saying red and a parrot on the other saying yellow."
Meanwhile, legendary Chelsea defender John Terry called Romero's challenge a "disgrace" on social media.
"How is that not a Red Card? Wow, he tweeted. "That’s a disgrace. You can’t just kick someone!"

And plenty more reckon Udogie should have walked, with one fan tweeting: "VAR drop a clanger again. Literally the most cliche rule book red card you have ever seen, but somehow Udogie doesn’t get sent off. Becoming a farce now.
