Nicolas Jackson scored a hat-trick as Chelsea beat Tottenham 4-1 in a chaotic encounter
Chelsea have packed enough action into their past two Premier League matches against Tottenham and Manchester City to fill 10 more routine games.
They were, however, two complete different encounters with the 4-1 win over Spurs characterised by the chaos of an overworked video assistant referee (VAR), red cards, disallowed goals and Ange Postecoglou's unorthodox high defensive line.
Chelsea's 4-4 draw with City was quite simply a classic full of superb football and a plotline full of twists and turns.
Below I have concentrated on chaos rather than simply classics - although there is liberal sprinkling of both in 10 of the most chaotic games I have reported on for BBC Sport.
Tottenham 1-4 Chelsea - Premier League, 6 November 2023
Where do you even start with this? A Premier League game for the ages and a damaging defeat for Postecoglou's resurgent Spurs.
The first half alone contained nine VAR checks and a red card for Spurs defender Cristian Romero for a foul on Enzo Fernandez that also resulted in a penalty after another check moments before had disallowed Moises Caicedo's goal.
Confused? Many were.
Cole Palmer scored the resulting spot-kick to level after Dejan Kulusevski had put Spurs ahead, the home side also losing Micky van de Ven and James Maddison to long-term injury before half-time.
Destiny Udogie's second yellow card saw Spurs down to nine men, Postecoglou then utilising a remarkable high line defence which held out until the 75th minute before Nicolas Jackson's hat-trick broke their resistance.
Spurs received a standing ovation at the final whistle. If wanted chaos you had come to the right place.
Argentina 3-3 France (Argentina win 4-2 on penalties) - World Cup final, 18 December 2022
This was the slow burner that sparked into a footballing inferno and one of the most spectacular World Cup finals in history in Qatar.
Match reports were at the ready with 10 minutes left. They recorded a routine Argentina victory as they led 2-0 with goals from a Lionel Messi penalty and Angel di Maria. Messi had secured his holy grail and his duel with the game's other great had not materialised - or at least it had not at that point.
And then it happened. Lots of it.
Kylian Mbappe scored twice in a minute to put France level, stun Argentina and send the game into extra time. In that, the two greats exchanged goals in a head-spinning 30 minutes which saw chances at both ends right up until the final seconds. It was almost impossible to keep track of the opportunities.
Argentina won the penalty shootout and Messi had finally fulfilled his dream but this was glorious chaos at its finest.
Manchester City 4-3 Tottenham - Champions League quarter-final, 17 April 2019
Spurs had a 1-0 lead from the first leg of this Champions League quarter-final and five goals inside the first 21 minutes of the return at Etihad Stadium was chaos personified.
Raheem Sterling put City ahead but Son Heung-min responded twice for Spurs. Bernardo Silva and Sterling again gave Pep Guardiola's side the lead at half-time and there was barely time to catch breath.
Sergio Aguero made it 4-2 to City before the hour but just when it looked like Spurs were done, substitute Fernando Llorente bundled in from a corner.
The real drama was saved for stoppage time when Sterling scored again to spark mayhem inside Etihad Stadium, Guardiola firing off into a sprint as opposite number Mauricio Pochettino slumped to the ground.
City were through - or at least they thought they through.
A VAR check ruled that Aguero was in an offside position as Bernardo Silva diverted the ball into his path.
It was now Guardiola's turn to slump as Spurs celebrated. They were through to the Champions League semi-final on away goals.
Liverpool 4-3 Borussia Dortmund - Europa League, 14 April 2016
This was the sort of European night Liverpool fans like to talk about and maybe the first signs of the sort of spectacular foot-to-the-floor football Jurgen Klopp would eventually bring to the club.
Klopp had barely been at Liverpool six months after leaving Dortmund the previous summer and the visiting fans saw the sort of drama they had become used to during his time in charge in this Europa League quarter-final.
After a 1-1 draw in the first leg, Dortmund - under Thomas Tuchel - took charge with goals from Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang inside the first 10 minutes.
Divock Origi gave Liverpool hope just after half-time but even that appeared to be snuffed out when Marco Reus quickly added Dortmund's third.
Liverpool, in a manner that was to become Klopp's Anfield trademark and with the manager whipping fans into a frenzy from the touchline, flooded forward. Goals from Philippe Coutinho and Mamadou Sakho set up a frantic finale. Dortmund were seconds from going through until Dejan Lovren rose to meet James Milner's cross and head the winner in front of an exultant Kop.
Brazil 1-7 Germany - World Cup semi-final, 8 July 2014
If there is one game in my career that stands above all others for the complete experience, this remarkable occasion on a glorious warm night in Belo Horizonte is it.
Yes, it was the mind-blowing result but it was also the whole environment with thousands of Brazil fans gathered at the stadium hours before kick-off in anticipation of their country winning the World Cup in their own iconic Maracana in the final.
Brazil had lost the tournament's poster boy Neymar to injury and emotions were running high even before kick-off with colleagues holding up t-shirts in tribute to their missing colleague. More significantly, they had lost defensive kingpin Thiago Silva to suspension.
It was quite simply all too much, with pretty much every Brazilian inside the stadium overwhelmed by the occasion.
Germany were 5-0 up in 29 minutes as countless Brazil fans inside the vast Estadio Mineirao wept openly. It finished 7-1, with Brazil's fans turning on their own team and cheering Germany in surreal scenes.
Crystal Palace 3-3 Liverpool - Premier League, 5 May 2014
This was the fall-out from the fall.
Liverpool were in control of their Premier League title destiny until Steve Gerrard's fateful slip let in Demba Ba to set Jose Mourinho's Chelsea on the way to a 2-0 win at Anfield.
This meant Brendan Rodgers' team needed a victory, preferably a big one, to put pressure back on Manchester City, who had a superior goal difference. A point would put them back on top but realistically they need three points not one.
In chasing that big win, instead of simply settling for a win, Liverpool caved remarkably on a thunderous night at Selhurst Park.
Liverpool were strolling to three points as they were 3-0 up after 55 minutes courtesy of goals from Joe Allen and Luis Suarez either side of Damien Delaney's own goal.
Suarez showed the intent by racing to get the ball out of the net in the search for more goals as Liverpool's fans urged their team to punish Palace further. Instead, Liverpool simply got carried away and then capitulated.
Palace took advantage of Liverpool's carelessness to score three times in the final 11 minutes through Delaney and a Dwight Gayle double.
Liverpool went back to the top of the table by a point but it was actually greeted by tears from Suarez and from their supporters. Liverpool may have been back on top but they knew the game was up - and they had been architects of their own downfall.
Manchester City 3-2 QPR - Premier League, 13 May 2012
The most dramatic finale to a Premier League season. This is the game that ended in scenes of near hysteria, capped by Sergio Aguerio's stoppage-time goal that gave Manchester City their first title in 44 years on goal difference.
QPR led 2-1 in stoppage time and Manchester United had won at Sunderland. Many City fans were in tears at the pain they thought they were about to suffer.
Edin Dzeko's goal in the 92nd minute gave them three minutes to win the title in an increasingly frenzied atmosphere and they did it in the most dramatic fashion imaginable thanks to Aguero's famous finish.
Wigan 3-2 West Ham - Premier League, 15 May 2011
This may not sound the sort of fixture that is a catalyst for chaos but anyone inside the DW Stadium on this incident-packed day will tell a very different story.
West Ham United, under manager Avram Grant, knew only victory would stop relegation while Wigan knew defeat would almost certainly mean the drop for Roberto Martinez's side.
The Hammers were fulfilling their part of the bargain as they led through two Demba Ba headers at half-time. Wigan were actually bottom of the Premier League at one point during the game as results were going against them.
Suddenly Wigan revived and were level with two goals from Charles N'Zogbia and Conor Sammon - the second goal the signal for an instant mocking fly-past with a plane pulling the banner "Avram Grant, Millwall Legend" as West Ham faced the Championship.
It then turned into a basketball game as West Ham tried to save themselves only to see their fate sealed with another N'Zogbia goal in stoppage time.
Grant's fate was also sealed when a West Ham official announced the manager would not be meeting the media as he had been sacked, which was even followed by a debate about whether he would travel back with the team as he was no longer in charge.
The final enduring image of the day summed it up - a highly experienced and very capable freelance journalist who had to report for several outlets sitting with his head in hands, and that head shaking in disbelief, in the stadium's reception area.
Manchester United 1-6 Manchester City - Premier League, 23 October 2011
This is the one Manchester City fans still sing about and a scoreline that does not even touch the sides as far as the game is concerned.
City led by Mario Balotelli's goal (and his famous 'Why always me?' t-shirt) at half-time. Jonny Evans was sent off at the start of the second half for fouling the Italian, who then doubled the lead before Sergio Aguero added a third.
United, encouraged by Darren Fletcher's late goal, adopted attacking tactics when manager Sir Alex Ferguson said they should have just taken their medicine, allowing Edin Dzeko to score twice and David Silva to get on the scoresheet with three goals in the final minutes.
Ferguson's words about his team letting the score get out of hand proved prophetic. City secured the title on goal difference with Aguero's iconic winner in stoppage time against QPR on the final day of the season.
Manchester United 8-2 Arsenal - Premier League, 28 August 2011
The most one-sided game in the great rivalry between Sir Alex Ferguson and Arsene Wenger, who suffered one of his worst and most humiliating losses at a venue where he particularly detested defeat.
Arsenal were forced to field a makeshift side but nothing could prepare any observers for the scale of the thrashing Manchester United meted out.
Wayne Rooney scored the sixth hat-trick of his United career, Ashley Young scored twice, while Danny Welbeck, Nani and Park Ji-sung were all on target. Goals by Theo Walcott and Robin van Persie - who joined United a year later - were of no consolation to Arsenal, the final whistle providing release from the torture.
