A disastrous opening 10 minutes set the tone for Chelsea’s 4-2 win against Tottenham, with mistakes from Marc Cucurella allowing Brennan Johnson in twice. However, Jadon Sancho’s goal midway through the first half helped settle the Blues back down.
Chelsea exerted control in the second half and equalized before Enzo Fernández sealed the win with a left-footed shot. Cole Palmer’s penalty conversion then put the game beyond Spurs’ reach. The England international also netted his 11th league goal of the season, leaving Chelsea two points clear of Arsenal and within four points of Premier League leaders Liverpool.
The match marked the first change in Tottenham’s lineup, with Badiashile replacing Fofana due to injury, while Gusto came on for Lavia at halftime. Enzo Fernández scored his third goal in four games, further solidifying Chelsea’s lead in the title race.
