I got really confused by Chelsea's performance last night. When they played against strong teams, Chelsea did exceptionally well... however, when facing the underdog teams, their performance was quite poor. I remember when Chelsea used to be a big threat to Arsenal, and that seemed to repeat against Tottenham. I must admit that I made a wrong prediction for this match because I had bet on spurs.

For anyone who watched the game last night, it was incredibly intense, and I can even say the drama was very exciting. Two red cards and Son's disallowed goal sparked heated discussions. The Spurs' recklessness was evident as they had only 9 players attacking, with all of their players except the goalkeeper in Chelsea's half of the field. yep...the last two goals were a result of spurs' panic and chelsea's ability to capitalize on their opportunities.

Chelsea played really well last night, and I have to give credit where it's due.

They're going to learn a valuable lesson from this loss, and I don't think the Spurs will have a major drop in their performance for the next match. They're a top team.

As I watch Chelsea play after the break, I cant stop biting my nails. Yes, they did a good job at first, but football is tough. It a great chance to be ahead two players, and Chelsea cant lose it. But Im worried because teams have failed to take advantage of similar benefits in the past. Im really scared that Chelsea will let this slip through their fingers as a fan. For the second half, the plan needs to be pin-point precise. Tottenham needs to be suffocated, pushed until the cracks become chasms and a goal gets through. It would be a huge mistake for them not to take advantage of this important moment if they dont.

A wonderful match is behind us. I have never watched such an enjoyable match in the Premier League this year. Tottenham held out very well with 9 men, but it did not work, the offside tactic did not work in the last minutes and they conceded 2 more goals. So I can't blame them because they did their best.

And with this defeat is gradually given Manchester City more grounds and more opportunity to win the trophy, and Tottenham never expected a defeat from Chelsea and when the game stated they were putting more pressure on Chelsea until Chelsea was awarded with a penalty  and Tottenham had a record of their first red card that is were the problem of Tottenham started and the table turned against them. And that is when Chelsea increased the pressure on Tottenham and that is when the goals keep coming in, and Tottenham flipping Manchester City is possible but I still have a very strong believe that the city will win. I was impressed with Jackson's performance yesterday scoring an hat trick wonderful performance from him.
At first their defence was tight and when they started losing players it became more open for Chelsea attack to penetrate, because Tottenham at the same time was focusing to much on scoring a goal and to equalize and see if they can win after they equalize. They would have tried to manage their self after the first red card instead of playing carelessly and putting the team in a more difficult situation, their is no way that Tottenham would have won with just nine players on the pitch. They gave Chelsea an open chance to win. Manchester city will definitely be happy since Tottenham as become a club to worry about, and even from the beginning Premier League is very competitive and tough so you just have to be very careful, I don't like VAR have been doing recently  and if not for offside Tottenham would have conceded more goals yesterday.

With Spurs, things were not as easy as they seem... Yes, Chelsea could beat them, but for some reason the bookmakers were giving high odds on Spurs winning... That is, somehow the bookmakers assumed that Chelsea could win, when few people could imagine that it would happen...

Chelsea is really lucky that two Tottenham players get red card, it's really make sense Chelsea win in this match. Playing with 11 players while their opponent only have 9 players, it's similar like we (as a gambler) who gamble on a casino where we have less chance to win lol.

With the big margins win by Chelsea, I'm not yet saying Chelsea is evolving.

See you on the next week, Manchester City will beat you.

Two goals being disalloweed by the referee and that's quite frustrating for chelsea at this moment. The game between chelsea and totenham has been always so attractive since a long time ago. There would always have drama in any games between chelsea vs totenham.
That's the main reason why many people called this game was one of most interesting game to be watched. The chelsea players were always able controling their emotion which is very helpful to give totenham two red cards.
The good thing if chelsea was not wasting such opportunity. Jackson was able scoring two 3 goals while palmer 1 goal. Selling mount for palmer is a good decision for chelsea.

Manchester united got garbage midfielder while chelsea gets a good talent from manchester city. It seems like that totenham's way to win EPL becomes even harder than before.
The first lose of totenham will be surely making the performance from the club drop in upcoming match.

Tottenham's first defeat has now allowed Man City to return to first place in the standings. But even so, currently the difference in points between Tottenham and Man City is not too much, namely only 1 point. I personally am actually quite annoyed with Tottenham's defeat in this match. Yes, because I bet on Tottenham in that match. Because they should be able to be superior and win the match if the players can play more cleanly. But I also have to admit that Chelsea is getting better. In fact, Chelsea's attacks have become sharper now. The confidence of the Chelsea players will also definitely get stronger after this match. And Pochettino can definitely breathe a sigh of relief after successfully bringing Chelsea to beat Tottenham, who were unbeaten previously this season. I congratulate Chelsea for beating one of the favorite teams this season. I'm surprised that H.Son and his friends seem to have difficulty in this match.

The weekly disaster that is making the impossible became possible had happened to Tottenham Hotspur, and Chelsea that are experience team took the advantage of what befallen Tottenham. Two red card in one match and they are defenders definitely this thing that happened we total change their entire plan they had initially but still Tottenham Hotspur really try their best in some of the attack the went but to return home to defend is very difficult for them and the Nicholas Jackson is always set for them to score. Manchester City will now sit comfortably on the top of the table leading Tottenham Hotspur with one point behind, with what this Premier league is turning into now every team have to change their plan and the views they were having towards the league.

Tottenham had a tough loss, but it wouldn't be fair to say they played poorly. At the start of the match, they had the upper hand against Chelsea and even managed to take the lead. Despite having fewer players on the field, they maintained a strong level of play and controlled the match quite effectively. Nevertheless, this game was filled with numerous unexpected situations, and Chelsea scored goals that tilted the balance in their favor.
I must say I wasn't impressed by Jackson's goals in this match. They seemed way too easy for a player of his caliber. I had higher expectations for him, and it was a bit disappointing.

Actually, when Tottenham took the lead 1-0, I thought it was a bad ending for Chelsea, but with two red cards, the game suddenly changed its balance. From then on, Chelsea began to blockade the Tottenham goal. Although Tottenham held out pitifully for a long time, the deadlock was broken in the 75th minute, Chelsea took the lead 2-1 and two more goals were scored in extra time. Chelsea won 4-1. We know how one red card spoils the game, and this is the case when there are 2 of them. It was a sad result for Tottenham.

Udojie was reckless with the tackle on sterling, that lead to Chelsea having a better means of winning the match. The eight man still was solid Chelsea waited for too long to score three goals and also control the game. The win was without honour if I am asked. Tottenham fa s still showed support for the players they have never disappointed since the start of the season. Chelsea will lose against City the win last night was not worthwhile. Nicholas Jackson with three goals he was not playing well until they sent two players off the field.  Pochettino knows how to challenge Man City and Pep too. The win is good for them since they have been badly beaten.

does it make sense that a team competing with 9 players can win the match?
lets look again, even though we were able to win against Spurs, the victory was unfair, how could Spurs survive with just 9 players, while situation like this will certainly be experienced by any team when competing with less than 11 players, performance will decline so I would not say Chelsea performance was very good in yesterday match but it was just luck and I can not be sure that Chelsea has returned to its best performance but looking at the depth of its performance, it has actually not been consistent.

just see what will happen when you play against Man City in the next match.

Actually Tottenham is not just playing defensive they also tried to counterattack and managed to score another goal but unfortunately the goal was annulled because of offside, we must appreciate Tottenham efforts in this match they never gave up but the effort did not bring change because 9 players were unable to keep up with 11 players. Manchester City must be happy with this result so they are safe in the standings for several weeks while Tottenham has to prepare for other big matches ahead and potentially the 2nd defeat.

If we pay attention to the results of the match in the Premier League this week especially for positions 2 to 5 at least 3 teams lost and 1 draw is this just a coincidence? and vice versa the middle -board team almost all get 3 points except Brighton, well brighton is also in the spotlight of their declining performance imagine in the last 5 games never won whereas before we know that they were one of the strong teams at the start of the season somehow lately they have difficulty winning the match.

Sincerely speaking, I was pretty disappointed Chelsea couldn't crack Tottenham's defense with just 9 players on the field. Making sloppy passes, still at many occasions being out played. The saving grace was that Tottenham lost concentration, if not they might have even won the game. Poch needs to learn a lot after that game. For Chelsea, it was a poor start with great finish. Jackson needs to work on his finishing because he is a potential player but he is not there yet. Yes, Chelsea won, But not impressive at all. Jackson is not the kind of striker Chelsea need at this trying time. They need someone that convert chances to goals. Don’t be fooled by those 3 easy to score goals against 9 men. He missed some very crucial chances. Drogba or Diego Costa would’ve bagged nothing less than 6 goals with all those chances. But the most important thing now is that they secured the 3 points that is very necessary.

Currently the top teams are starting to lose balance and each top team has experienced defeat, and recently Arsenal just experienced their first defeat against Newcastle and was followed by Tottenham who suffered a defeat against Chelsea.

Tottenham took the lead in the 6th minute but unfortunately this advantage could not make Tottenham win because Tottenham had to lose 2 players and started to lose balance. I hope that this first defeat can make Tottenham perform even better in the future.
Fortunately, this defeat did not change Tottenham's ranking, currently they are still in second place behind Man City.

With the several goals that Chelsea was able to score that was disallowed I just knew Chelsea would win the game,  the game was much Interesting.  I think I can now say Chelsea is back and from their performance this season it can be possible. Chelsea performance against arsenal in their previous game was not bad even of it was a draw and their game against Tottenham was very outstanding and interesting,  it is possible when they meet other big teams they will be able to play better than how they used to perform in the previous season. Chelsea performance against spurs was unexpected and very impressive.

That's amazing to see how chelsea was scoring 4 goals even though many people complained that if chelsea was only winning against 9 players of spurs. The only questions is why did those spurs players do serious fouls?
This is pure their mistake and i would not even try to blame chelsea caused by it was winning against spurs with 9 players. Win is win lose is lose. Chelsea is just showing how club can handle the chances properly.
Many chelsea fans is feeling this as the most inexperienced chelsea side that they have not yet seen for years. It feels like that totenham will be struggling in the next game.



As long as spurs can maintain its position and that's good. City is leading the league right now and this is totally a good result for manchester city. Chelsea was helping city to climbing up and stay with 2 points gap to the totenham.
This is good for manchester city at this moment. The manchester blue can stay at the top even longer. The comeback of MU and chelsea shall be anticipated by other clubs.

Tottenhan finally tasted their first defeat this season at their home ground and playing with 9 players makes Tottenham difficult to managed their defense and since 55 minutes Tottenham playing with under pressure which make they have to conceded 3 goals within 20 minutes and before this match begin i was expect Tottenham can able to managed their consistency and overtake Manchester City for the first place but unfortunately Tottenham was failed to do so and for Chelsea this result makes their position jumped to 10th place and congratulation to Jackson because he can made his first hattrick with Chelsea yesterday

I don’t know what Tottenham were thinking in that game. For me, the red cards was just abnormal. And then the high line, it was a strange football from Spurs. When it was 11 v 11, I think Chelsea were up against it. But Tottenham gave way to 10 men, losing Romero and 10-men became 9-men, Udogie departing so Chelsea were afforded an opportunity that they just about managed to take. I really love Tottenham resilience in this game. Playing with a crazy high line, with excellent sweeper goalie. It was evident that luck wasn’t just on their side.
Anyways I’m happy for Chelsea. They are gradually getting the confidence needed.

Honestly, on the face of it, this win may not look like much. But it will feel important for this struggling Chelsea side. So with Chelsea now in to the top half of the table at least, they can prepare to face Manchester City at Stamford Bridge on Sunday if not with confidence then at least with a guise of hope.
