The Spurs had their party in the London duel building a solid 2-0 over this apathetic Chelsea, who plays little and has gone six without winning. Tottenham is still installed at the forefront, and will fight until the end.
The London duel was played with gritted teeth, raising the temperature with the passing of the minutes. Emotions came in drops, a long shot from Joao Félix tested Forster’s reflexes, replacing the injured Lloris.
The goalkeeper would again be solid to defuse a poisonous shot from Sterling.
The best of the initial stage was for Spurs, a shot by Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg that, after a slight deflection, crashed into Kepa’s left post.
Before the break the controversy, a clash between players ended with Hakim Ziyech hitting Emerson’s face. The judge decided to expel the Chelsea footballer but, after reviewing it on the VAR monitor, he changed the red card to a yellow card.
The complement began to request from Tottenham, who managed to break zero just after the minute of play. Kepa rebounded and Enzo Fernández got in the way of his chance to take the ball, taking it out from the area to divide.
Oliver Skipp gained possession from Félix and with a tremendous right hand he overcame the resistance of the Spanish goalkeeper to put Spurs ahead.
Great goal from Skipp, capitalizing on Chelsea’s bad start to give his team the result of a very even match.
Then the visit took the reins looking for an equalizer, however it offered very little and rarely put Forster’s goal in serious danger, who at times was a spectator.
Tottenham did not need the ball to control the process, and ended up liquidating eight from the end with another goal from the inexhaustible Harry Kane.
Son raised the shot from the corner, Dier won in the heart of the box and combed for Harry to push over the line.
Lapidary 2-0 for Chelsea, who has gone six without winning with three defeats in a row and only one goal in favor. Potter’s team is coming up against BVB for the Champions League.
Tottenham won again and settles into qualifying positions for the next Champions League.
