Overview
- Tottenham finished with an expected goals of 0.05, their lowest in a Premier League game since Opta records began, from three shots and one on target.
- Micky van de Ven and Djed Spence walked straight down the tunnel at full time as boos rang out, a moment Frank later downplayed as simple frustration.
- Spurs have won one of five home league matches under Frank, with the derby defeat extending a months‑long struggle to create chances at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
- Xavi Simons replaced the concussed Lucas Bergvall early, was later substituted off, and remains under scrutiny for a lengthy goal drought despite Frank’s public backing.
- Chelsea climbed to fourth on goal difference behind Spurs, with Moisés Caicedo’s press leading to João Pedro’s winner, and next up Tottenham host Copenhagen before Manchester United.
