The highlight of the match at Stamford Bridge on the morning of April 4, the latest match of round 30 of the Premier League, was the referee having to issue a total of 10 yellow cards, divided equally between Chelsea and Tottenham, and countless times VAR denied goals from both teams .
Tottenham defense after Moises Caicedo's attack
Host Chelsea put on a lot of pressure but it was not enough to cause Tottenham any trouble on the day the "Roosters" defense, led by goalkeeper Vicario, played very well. They neutralized all the opponent's attacks, besides the fact that Chelsea's star strikers were too wasteful with their chances.
Two consecutive collisions between Moises Caicedo and Pape Sarr caused both sides to fall to the ground.
At the end of the first half, Chelsea's central defender Trevoh Chalobah and Tottenham's Cristian Romero received yellow cards for fighting each other. Even more heated was the collision between Moises Caicedo and Pape Sarr in the 69th minute, after the Tottenham midfielder fell in the Chelsea penalty area due to Caicedo's impact.
Enzo Fernandez scored the only goal for Chelsea
The highlight of the match was the home team's opening goal in the 50th minute. Cole Palmer crossed the ball accurately for "The Blues" captain Enzo Fernandez to head the ball into Tottenham's net.
It took Cole Palmer eight games to get involved in a Chelsea goal, having been without a goal since late December last year!
"The Blues" won the derby against Tottenham 4 times in a row
In the 56th minute, Moises Caicedo had an impressive volley but the goal was not recognized. VAR intervened and determined that Levi Colwill had been in an offside position before.

VAR denied Chelsea's goal but in the 69th minute "saved" the home team from conceding a goal. Pape Sarr stole the ball after a foul on Caicedo and fired a long-range shot into Chelsea's net. However, after consulting VAR, the referee determined that Pape Sarr was at fault and therefore canceled Tottenham's goal.
Chelsea's defense also had a heart attack because of the opponent
The Blues won 1-0, forcing Tottenham to suffer their fourth consecutive defeat in the two sides' encounters. Chelsea returned to the top 4 of the Premier League with 52 points, just 1 point ahead of 5th-placed Man City.
