The “Spurs” had to admit defeat to the “Blues” in an intense game with 1:4 (1:1), but after 55 minutes the North Londoners were twice outnumbered. This means that English football champions Manchester City regained the lead in the table after the eleventh round.
Chelsea gave coach Mauricio Pochettino an emotional victory in his old place of work. After the hosts’ early lead through Dejan Kulusevski (6th), things went haywire. First, two Chelsea goals were conceded by the video referee for handball and offside. However, the VAR also intervened when Tottenham’s Cristian Romero committed a hard foul in the penalty area, for which the Argentine was shown a red card (33′). Cole Palmer converted the penalty to equalize. (35.)
Things got even worse for the hosts in the second half when Destiny Udogie received a yellow-red card (55′). With two men in the majority, Chelsea scored the opening goal through Nicolas Jackson (75th). But the Spurs didn’t give up and had an offside goal and two great chances. However, the equalizer would not come in the nine minutes of stoppage time – twelve minutes had already been added to the first half. Instead, Jackson made everything clear on two counterattacks (90+4 and 90+7).
Pochettino had already caused quite a stir with his statements before the game. “Hopefully I can stay here at Chelsea until I die. 20 or 25 years,” the Argentine was quoted as saying in the Telegraph, “but you never know in football. Tottenham is a club and if I stop working, then Maybe they want me one day, why not?” Pochettino’s contract with the Blues is valid until 2025.
