- Chelsea’s perfect second half Derby beat Tottenham Hotspur.
- Enzo Fernandez’s excellent header pushed Blues into the top four.
- Tottenham Hotspur’s struggle continues as Chelsea shines in the London derby.
Enzo Fernandez’s only goal was when he beat Totterham Hotspur 1-0 at Stamford Bridge.
Earlier in the second half, he headed the Blues and pushed them into the Premier League top four. 🔥
It was a much-needed victory for Enzo Maresca’s side, especially after some bad games before the international breakout.
On the other hand, the Spurs failed to show enough fighting in this Greater London derby. ⚔️
Chelsea starts with early opportunities ⚡
From the first minute, Chelsea looked hungry and full of energy.
Here’s what happened early on:
Nicolas Jackson missed a one-on-one chance against Vicario.
The poor gap hit Jackson and almost bounced into the net.
Malo Gusto shot the side net.
Destiny Udogie almost scored his own goal under pressure.
Tottenham’s defense looked shaken, and Chelsea controlled the game from the beginning.
After injury, Kesdo shines in midfield 💪
Moises Caideo needed treatment for the hamstring problem in the first half, but he recovered quickly and played well.
He controls the midfield:
Break the Spurs’ attack.
Win the key tackle.
Calm and confident.
Tottenham Hotspur has few opportunities. Only son Heung-Min tested Robert Sanchez with a wise shot, but the Chelsea goalkeeper was ready.
James Maddison and Jadon Sancho worked hard to create clear opportunities, although Sancho did make a big save at the end of the half. 🧤
Fernandez
In just five minutes in the second half, Chelsea finally scored.
Jadon Sancho stays calm in the box and passes it to Cole Palmer.
Palmer offers a perfect cross.
Enzo Fernandez nodded easily when he clocked well.
1-0 Chelsea – This is totally deserved.
VAR cancels two targets❌🖥️
Like many games this season, Var is busy again.
Caicedo got a strong shot but was banned due to Levi Colwill’s slightly offside.
Later, Pape Sarr smashed an equalizer that looked like a great one, but VAR ruled that he fouled Caicedo in the accumulation. No goal.
These decisions shape the game and add more drama to the tense derby.
Spurs fans open postecoglou⚠️
Tottenham fans are obviously not satisfied with their team and manager.
Boos rang when Lucas Bergvall was eliminated as Pape Sarr.
After Sarr scored (before excluding it), Ange Postecoglou seemed to be in the away cup – although he later said it wasn’t for them.

After the last whistle:
Some Spurs players go to thank their fans.
Postecoglou is in good condition.
Vicario was very upset and slammed the tunnel wall as he left the court. 🥊
Tottenham Hotspur is now ranked 14th on the table – well below expectations.
Their Europa League quarterfinals with Eintracht Frankfurt have now become a bigger focus.
