Chelsea with a phenomenal 4-3 comeback win vs. Tottenham

Add comment

Palmer was the key for the Blues victory in the London derby.

Chelsea defeated Tottenham Hotspur 4-3 after being down 2-0 after 11 minutes to continue its phenomenal run in the league.

The home side started the match phenomenally and that was awarded with a 2-goal lead for them after only 11 minutes.

Marc Cucurella can be blamed for both of the goals of the Spurs as he slipped both times and even he was seen to change his boots after the 2^nd goal of Tottenham.

Dominic Solanke scored the opening goal in the 5^th minute after Brennan Johnson’s assist, while Dejan Kulusevski doubled the home side’s lead in the 11^th minute after Pedro Porro’s assist.

However, the 1^st bad news for Spurs came in the 15^th minute when Christian Romero picked up an injury and was replaced by Radu Dragusin, as only 2 minutes later, the Blues scored their only goal in the 1^st half.

Jadon Sancho, with a phenomenal shot, made it 2-1 as the assist gave Cucurella in the 17^th minute as that was the final goal in the 1^st half.

In the 2^nd half, however, Chelsea dominated as Cole Palmer tied the result from a penalty in the 61^st minute and again Palmer was a key for the 3^rd goal of his team as he provided the ball to Enzo Fernandes who scored for the 1^st lead for the Blues in the match in the 74^th minute.

Cole Palmer scored his 2^nd penalty in the game in the 84^th minute for a foul against him to secure the comeback and the 3 points for his team as that was his 12^th straight successful penalty. Son scored in the extra time to make his team trail only 1 goal but it was too late for something more.

Chelsea are only 4 points behind leaders Liverpool, but the Reds are with a game in hand against Everton, while Tottenham failed to win in 3^rd consecutive match in the EPL and remains in the 11^th place.
