There have been quite a few extraordinary games in the Premier League over the years but it would be hard to match the frenetic clash between Spurs and Chelsea at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium last Monday.
The surprising final 4-1 score in Chelsea's favour does not tell half the story.
Apart from the five goals, it was a game which saw another five disallowed goals, two red cards, a penalty and numerous VAR interventions.
It was certainly a busy day for on-field referee Michael Oliver and the VAR team.
"One of the most mind-boggling games ever" was the view of Phil McNulty, chief football writer of the BBC.
The Daily Mail saw it as "An evening of madness" while commentator Peter Drury called it "carnage and chaos" although to be fair to the teams there wasn't too much carnage.
Former Liverpool star Jamie Carragher referred to it as "box office" entertainment.
Whatever you wish to call it, the game was definitely a chaotic epic and highly watchable. You simply didn't know what would happen next.
Despite the red cards, it wasn't particularly rough, but just full of incidents and as in any game featuring Chelsea, plenty of missed chances.
Even mild-mannered Spurs manager Ange Postecoglou received a yellow card for complaining about VAR.
He said later that he had always been brought up to accept the referee's decision.
"This constant erosion of the referee's authority [by VAR] is the way the game is going… and I don't like it."
It also witnessed Chelsea's much maligned striker Nicolas Jackson score a hat-trick which was all but forgotten amidst all the mayhem.
Mind you, he will never score an easier three goals and he still managed to miss a couple of sitters.
Despite their two-man advantage in the second half Chelsea still struggled to break down the Spurs defence until the later stages when the hosts ran out of steam.
All credit to the Tottenham supporters who gave their team a standing ovation at the end of the game, acknowledging their efforts despite finishing with nine men in a match that lasted 111 minutes.
However, the Spurs fans will not be so happy with the decision-making of Cristian Romero and Destiny Udogie for getting their team in such a mess in a game most supporters thought they would win comfortably.
In the first half alone, there were nine major incidents leading to a stoppage in play, prompting 12 added minutes. This included Romero being sent off in the 25th minute.
The second half saw fewer incidents, but there was still enough time for Spurs to have Udogie red-carded and suffer another disallowed goal before Chelsea eventually took the lead in the 75th minute through Jackson.
The under-pressure striker went on to add two late goals for his hat-trick.
Despite the much-needed win, Chelsea will be aware that the victory is only papering over the cracks.
They made hard work of overcoming nine men. Also worrying is the continuing poor form of Mykhailo Mudryk.
It will be back to reality for the Blues tomorrow when they take on Manchester City at Stamford Bridge. Best of luck with that.
After the City game, Chelsea are away to Newcastle, home to Brighton and away to Manchester United. That should be a true test of how their season will go.
What has become more evident this season is that VAR is abandoning its initial purpose to only rule on "clear and obvious" mistakes and is instead indulging in a lot more detailed offences causing unnecessary delays which was not part of its original remit.
