Tottenham Hotspur Vs Chelsea Full Time Match Report

Chelsea staged a stunning comeback to defeat Tottenham 4-3 on Sunday, narrowing the gap to just four points behind Premier League leaders Liverpool.

Spurs raced into a 2-0 lead early on, but Chelsea, led by Enzo Maresca, turned the game around with four goals, including two penalties from England forward Cole Palmer.

Despite a late goal from Son Heung-min, Chelsea extended their unbeaten Premier League run to seven matches.

Jadon Sancho, starting after scoring in Chelsea’s 5-1 win at Southampton midweek, gave the visitors a lifeline with a brilliant long-range strike, before Palmer took center stage.

His two penalties, combined with a goal from Enzo Fernandez, helped Chelsea dominate the second half and secure all three points.

The result leaves Chelsea just four points behind Liverpool, who have a game in hand after their fixture with Everton was postponed due to severe weather.

Son’s 96th-minute goal proved to be little more than a consolation for Spurs, who have now won only once in their last seven matches and remain 11th in the table.

Manager Ange Postecoglou faced an angry confrontation with his own supporters following Thursday’s disappointing 1-0 loss to Bournemouth.

Tottenham had started brightly, with Dominic Solanke giving them the lead, followed by Dejan Kulusevski’s goal to make it 2-0 within 11 minutes.

Chelsea responded through Sancho, but both sides had missed chances in a frantic first half, with Pape Sarr’s header hitting the crossbar and Solanke wasting a chance to extend Spurs’ lead.

In the second half, Chelsea took control. Yves Bissouma’s needless challenge on Moises Caicedo led to a penalty, which Palmer converted to make it 2-2. Moments later, Fernandez scored from the edge of the box to put Chelsea ahead. Spurs were further wounded when their central defenders, Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven, both had to leave the field due to injuries.

Tottenham’s woes continued when Sarr fouled Palmer in the box, and the England international cheekily converted a Panenka-style penalty to seal the win.

Son’s late strike from a James Maddison cross made for a tense finish, but Chelsea held firm to close in on Liverpool and strengthen their position as unexpected title contenders.
