Later learnt that Tottenham played with just 9 players as two of their players unfortunately got suspended from the match due to them being awarded a red card, I must say that it was a very unfortunate match for spurs, and Chelsea I believe can not boost of deserving the win they got from that match, it is just luck that decided to smile on them that day, and Chelsea fans who are truly sensible should know this already and not boost.
To be fair, it is Spurs' problem if their players are indisciplined to receive two red cards in one game and it is no business of Chelsea. The thing is, i personally think Spurs would have beaten them if Romero and Udogie were not sent off (but we'd never know what would have happened), but i would not call it luck on the part of Chelsea, they got the job done as expected.
Having said that, what i didn't see from Chelsea is any sort of resurgence, even when they had the two man advantage, they were not moving the ball so well, and they didn't control the game as i expected them to do with the advantage they had, yes they won 4-1, but the scoreline somewhat doesn't tell the true picture and i don't think they stand a chance against City on Sunday.
Beautiful Analysis, you know how to watch football without bias.
Tottenham Hotspur should have won if not for the double man carded. The first few minutes of the game made me count the total number of players playing for Tottenham Hotspur. They pressured and pressed high which caused Chelsea to lose total control of the ball . It's almost like karma to me, Tottenham Hotspur also did win with two man down against the reds? ( Liverpool ?)
Chelsea found it difficult to break the defense of Tottenham Hotspur with eight man and whenever done, Vicario was always there to make shocking saves I would think will lead to goal. They was lucky the equalizer from Eric Dier was ruled offside
I felt Tottenham Hotspur woulda drawn the game to take home a point since the double red card denied em the game and three points. On paper and form, they should've won. But, it's football, Props to blues.
Can we see a good game from Pochetino and Chelsea against City? Jackson was feeling high, let's watch him do same against then citizens. Off course they can't!
