In a tightly contested London derby, João Pedro's decisive first-half goal proved enough to separate the sides and deliver all three points to Chelsea. The match, part of Week 10 of the Premier League season, saw both teams enter with identical records of five wins and three losses, but it was the visitors who emerged victorious.
Tottenham, playing at home, struggled to break down Chelsea’s defense despite several promising moments. Mohammed Kudus, Rodrigo Bentancur, Kevin Danso, and Xavi Simons were all booked as Spurs pushed for an equalizer, but their efforts were thwarted by Chelsea’s disciplined back line and goalkeeper Robert Sánchez.
Chelsea, under manager Enzo Maresca, showed resilience and tactical discipline. The Blues maintained 51% possession and managed to hold off Tottenham’s late surge, with Sánchez making key saves to preserve the lead. Enzo Fernández and Trevoh Chalobah also received yellow cards in a match that featured six bookings.
This win marks a significant result for Chelsea, who had been seeking consistency in their campaign. It also continues their recent dominance over Spurs, having now won five of their last seven Premier League meetings.
