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 vs Chelsea

Ange Postecoglou has made the best start by a Premier League manager after 10 games in charge.

He is looking to become only the third manager to avoid defeat in his opening 11 fixtures, emulating Nottingham Forest’s Frank Clark in 1994 and Chelsea’s Maurizio Sarri in 2018.

Spurs could also win five Premier League matches in a row for the first time since December 2018 under Mauricio Pochettino.
