London derbara in action… and more! The Tottenham-Chelsea it had LITERALLY everything. Together with the winners, the “blue”, with all of it Maurizio Pochettino – in his return against his former team – to dissolve 4-1 the heroic “spurs”.
And we say heroically, because his team Angelos Postecoglou -which was the last team in the Premier League without defeat)- was playing with nine players from 55′ due to the dismissals of Romero (33′) and Udoji (55′)! And yet he endured until 75′When the Jackson he started to… fire ending the showdown with hat trick, the first in his career (the Senegalese forward reached six goals with Chelsea). In fact, Tottenham had their own important chances in the final, with the score at 1-2.
And all this in one game, with five disallowed goals – all four by VARof two for each group- and 22′ delays (12′ in the first part and 10′ in the second part)!
So Tottenham fell to 2nd place after the 11th “turn” and at -1 from Manchester City. Pep Guardiola’s side, who beat Bournemouth 6-1 on Saturday (4/11), are also the big winners of the matchday, after defeats by Arsenal and Aston Villa and a draw by Liverpool. At 10th Chelsea.
The rating:
In his matches now, the hosts came in very strong. In fact, finding nets just at 6′by Kulusevsky to converge and place for 1-0.
VAR’s work began in the 13th minute, when Tottenham launched an excellent counter-attack, which Sean finished off perfectly. However, as the examination showed, the South Korean midfielder was exposed.
To take turn in the video… Chelsea, whose two goals were disallowed back to back: First, Sterling’s in the 21st minute for handball and then Caicedo’s, in the 28th minute, for offside. In the second case, however, the VAR, after canceling the goal of the “blues”, checked the previous phase, for Romero’s harsh marking in the large area. Michael Oliver awarded the penalty to send the Argentina stopper off with a straight red card, the fourth he has faced since the start of the 2021/22 season, more than any other player in the Premier League. THE Palmerwell, he didn’t miss from eleven steps, making it 1-1 at 35′.
Two minutes later, Jackson scored for the upset, but that goal was also disallowed for offside.
In fact, in the delays, the “spurs” of the ten players saw them Mickey van de Ven and Madison to leave with an injury, the first probably with a serious one!
The destruction continued in the second half. First, things got even more difficult for Tottenham in the 55th minute when Udoji was sent off with a second yellow card. Now, Angelos Postecoglou’s team would compete with nine players for the rest of the match.
A pattern began to build, with the home team playing almost in the cross, trying to get their opponents offside, who for their part were constantly coming out in the space. In several cases, the flag was indeed raised.
After all, Tottenham – who had them in a terrible situation Vicar and Hoiberg (replaced Van de Ven)- bent to 75′. Chelsea once again came out in the… glade, with Sterling breaking into the Jackson of the well-placed shot from the edge of the small area.
And yet, the “blues” not only did not give up but also created important opportunities in the final. Dier’s in the 79th minute ended up with the ball in the net, however this goal was also canceled through VAR for offside.
On to stoppage time, where Chelsea sealed victory with two more strikes from Jackson on the counter, in 90’+4′ and to 90’+7′.
