November 7th at 5:00 p.m., the Tottenham vs. Chelsea match took place. Today's match was between Tottenham, who are on a 10-game winning streak, and Chelsea, who have a disappointing 13th place in the league.
Tottenham, who have been running a scary offense lately, scored the first goal in the sixth minute. Kulusevski picked up the ball on the right flank and fired a shot that deflected off a defender and into the back of the net. But it was Chelsea who took control from there, with Caicedo finding the corner of the net with a stunning mid-range shot after cutting the ball back from a high position.
However, after VAR, he was ruled offside. Instead, a penalty kick was awarded. Romero struck Enzo roughly on the ankle while clearing the ball. The referee watched the on-field review and awarded a penalty kick and a direct dismissal. Palmer stepped up to take the spot-kick, and it went in off the hand of Vicario to equalize.
From then on, Tottenham threatened Chelsea with chances and were forced to settle for three more goals after Udogie's dismissal, an injury to Maddison, and an injury to Vanderven. With the loss of so many players, one wonders how the Spurs manager will approach the game going forward.
