Pedro Strikes as Chelsea Beat Tottenham 1-0 to Enter Top Four

Tottenham's attack sputtered to a season-low 0.05 xG at home, drawing boos from frustrated fans.

Overview

  • Moises Caicedo dispossessed Micky van de Ven before setting up Joao Pedro for a 34th-minute winner that ended the striker’s goal drought.
  • Chelsea extended their dominance over Spurs to five straight wins and moved up to fourth in the Premier League, level on points with third-placed Tottenham.
  • Spurs mustered just three shots and one on target, with Opta data citing 0.05 expected goals as their lowest on record since xG tracking began.
  • Guglielmo Vicario produced several key saves to keep the scoreline narrow, including late stops after Jamie Gittens and Pedro squandered chances to seal it.
  • Lucas Bergvall was withdrawn early under concussion protocol, with reports he pushed a medic during the exchange, and boos greeted full-time as Tottenham’s home woes persisted.
