Tottenham vs Chelsea LIVE: Premier League result and reaction as late Nicolas Jackson hat-trick sinks 9-man Spurs

Tottenham 1-4 Chelsea: Mauricio Pochettino’s come out on top in tumultuous contest against his old club

Special to go back to Spurs - Pochettino

Chelsea triumphed in a tumultuous contest at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium which saw the home side reduced to nine men, concede four goals and receive a standing ovation from their own fans at the end of the game.

Spurs started perfectly as Dejan Kulusevski cut in from the right side and saw his deflected effort find the back of the net in the sixth minute. The hosts almost doubled their lead only for Son Heung-Min’s goal to be ruled out for offside but the first of many VAR calls.

The video refs then chalked off a goal for Raheem Sterling before cancelling out Moises Caicedo’s equaliser. This VAR check also resulted in the first of Tottenham’s red card as Cristian Romero was judged to have seriously fouled Enzo Fernandez. Cole Palmer then slotted home the resultant penalty.

In the second half, Destiny Udogie clipped Sterling and earned a second booking causing Tottenham to finish the game with nine men. They kept Chelsea at before Sterling nipped in behind and played in Nicolas Jackson. He added two more goals in stoppage as Chelsea ran away with the game, but Spurs performance won over the fans and the scoreline doesn’t do their efforts justice.

Tottenham 1-1 Chelsea

70 mins: The longer this game goes on without a Chelsea goal the more Mauricio Pochettino’s players will feel the pressure. They should win from this position but a lack of experience and confidence has seen them make the wrong decisions at the wrong time.

Mudryk sprints into Pedro Porro and gives away a free kick to Spurs.

67 mins: Save! Wonderful from the Spurs keeper once again.

Marc Cucurella is played in behind and he takes the ball into the box. As he cuts back onto his right foot, Vicario sprints out and smothers the shot.

The back-tracking defenders then get to the loose ball and boot it away!

Tottenham 1-1 Chelsea

61 mins: Over an hour played at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and the home side can only hope to keep Chelsea at bay. Reece James pulls a shot wide of the target as Ange Postecoglou prepares a couple of changes.

Dejan Kulusevski and Pape Matar Sarr go off with Rodrigo Bentancur and Oliver Skipp brought on. They’re going to have a lot of work to do in midfield.

In the next attack Enzo Fernandez flicks the ball over Spurs’ high line and sends Raheem Sterling bombing forward. He brings the ball into the box, cuts inside and curls one towards goal but there’s a defender in the way and Tottenham clear the danger.

Tottenham 1-1 Chelsea

51 mins: Ange Postecoglou is asking his Tottenham team to play high up the pitch and press Chelsea. It’s a risky strategy that could backfire as they’ve got one player less.

Chelsea should be able to out pass and out play the home side if they manage to keep their heads.
