Overview
- João Pedro scored in the 34th minute after Moisés Caicedo won the ball on the edge of the box, ending the striker’s run without a goal since late August.
- Tottenham mustered 0.05 expected goals and just one shot on target, and the team was booed off at full time.
- Lucas Bergvall left after a head injury in the seventh minute under concussion protocols, with Xavi Simons introduced and later substituted after struggling.
- Thomas Frank played down Micky van de Ven and Djed Spence heading straight for the tunnel and affirmed confidence that Simons will come good.
- Chelsea rose to fourth and extended their strong record in this fixture, while Cristian Romero was only fit enough for a bench return and Guglielmo Vicario’s saves kept the score down.
