Enzo repeats feat after 26 years

In the early morning of April 4, Enzo Fernandez scored the only goal to help Chelsea defeat Tottenham 1-0 in round 30 of the Premier League at home.

In the 49th minute, Cole Palmer crossed from the left wing for Enzo Fernandez to jump high and head the ball, opening the score for Chelsea. According to Opta , Enzo became the first Chelsea player in 26 years to score against Tottenham in both the first and second legs of a Premier League season. Previously, only Roberto Di Matteo (1996/97) and Gus Poyet (1998/99) did this.

Enzo's only goal helped Chelsea win 3 points at home, thereby reclaiming 4th place from Man City. Coach Enzo Maresca's team has 52 points, 1 point more than Man City, 2 points more than Newcastle but played one more game.

On the other hand, this defeat has left Spurs with almost no chance of competing for a place in the group for the European Cup this season, as they are 16 points behind the 6th-placed team and have played one more game. Coach Postecoglou and his students have only one door to participate in the Champions League, which is to win the Europa League this season.

Tottenham have not won in their last four rounds.

Back at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea completely dominated the first half and created a series of chances. However, the unlucky strikers could not take advantage to bring home a goal. The most regrettable situation happened in the first minute, when Nicolas Jackson missed the opportunity to face the goalkeeper.

After Enzo’s goal in the second half, the pace of the match increased. In the 56th and 69th minutes, fans witnessed two great long-range shots, by Moises Caicedo and Pape Sarr respectively. However, both goals were disallowed by VAR, respectively for offside and pulling a player in the attack.

Also according to Opta, this is the 14th time Chelsea have won against Tottenham at Stamford Bridge without conceding a goal. Previously, "The Blues" had done the same 15 times at home against Newcastle.
