Chelsea defeated Tottenham

In the early morning of November 2, Chelsea won convincingly 1-0 at Tottenham's home field in round 10 of the Premier League.

Chelsea returned to the top four after a win over Tottenham.

Chelsea travelled to north London and came away with all three points – a result that reflected the overall tone of the derby as the Blues completely dominated their opponents. Joao Pedro's 34th-minute goal, capitalising on a silly mistake from Van de Ven, was the highlight of an evening that could have seen Chelsea win by a large margin had they finished better.

Enzo Maresca, who has been under pressure after a run of inconsistent form, finally responded strongly. Chelsea created 2.92 expected goals (xG), while Tottenham – who are in third place – only had 0.05 xG, a figure that shows their overall inferiority.

Chelsea's attack was effective with Neto, Fernandez, Alejandro Garnacho and Joao Pedro constantly disturbing the Spurs defence. Goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario had to work hard to save at least 5 good situations to help the home team avoid a heavy defeat.

Thomas Frank's Tottenham, on the other hand, were in complete disarray. Bentancur and Kudus were virtually invisible, while Kolo Muani was completely cut off from the backline. Spurs' once-vaunted defence continued to make mistakes, extending their four-game winless streak at home, and they are now behind Chelsea in points in the standings.

Chelsea’s fifth win of the season moved them up from ninth to fourth, marking a huge step forward in their bid to break into the top four. Reece James – playing central midfield for the first time – shone, leading the play with rare composure and precision.

On a night when Tottenham lost their momentum, Chelsea showed the spirit of a comeback. And if they maintain this form, "The Blues" may not stop at the top 4.
