Table of Contents
Tottenham Hotspur Stadium – Chelsea defeated Tottenham Hotspur 4-1, securing a crucial victory and extending theirโ impressive โrecordโฃ against their London rivals. A dominantโค first-halfโฃ performance, spearheaded by a goal from Joao Pedro, laid the foundation for the win, while Robertโ Sanchez delivered a composed display, especially excelling in dealing wiht Tottenham’s set-pieces. โฃ
This result marks a fifth successive win for Chelsea against Tottenham and only one loss in 13 meetings since 2020. The win provides a much-needed boost for Mauricio Pochettino’s side as they navigate โa demanding winter schedule. Here are three keyโข takeaways from the match:
1. Joao Pedro Silences doubtsโ with โฃDecisive โGoal
Joaoโ Pedro responded โฃemphaticallyโ to recent criticism with his first goal since August, giving Chelsea the lead afterโข 34โข minutes. Having struggled in a supporting role against sunderland while playing โฃalongside marc Guiu, Pedro looked backโ to his best leadingโข the line at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.โข He could have easily added two more goals in a dominant first half for โChelsea.Despite missing a late chance to secure the victory, Pedro deliveredโข a โขbattling performance, proving his worth โto the team.
2. Chelsea’s Set-Piece Defence โStands Firm Under Pressure
Robert Sanchez enjoyed a โคrelativelyโฃ quiet evening, largely โdue to Chelsea’sโ resolute defence, particularly their ability to handle Tottenham’s set-piece threat. โTottenham consistently delivered balls into the box, but Chelsea’s organisationโ and Sanchez’s command ofโฃ his area ensured they remained largely untroubled.
3. Blues Demonstrate โคDetermination and โคConsistency Potential
While not a “glittering” performance, Chelsea showcased an impressive determination and focus that โขhas been lacking in recent weeks. โขThey โspurned โฃopportunities to extend their lead but remained resolute as tottenham pushed for an equaliser. โThis victory builds on last season’s win at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium,โข which initially fuelled a title charge. Chelsea now face winnable league games against Wolves,โข burnley, and Leeds, offering an chance to build momentum and demonstrate consistency.
