- Chelsea’s Perfect Second Half Seals Derby Win Over Tottenham.
- Enzo Fernandez’s Brilliant Header Propels Blues Into Top Four.
- Tottenham’s Struggles Continue as Chelsea Shine in London Derby.
Enzo Fernandez scored the only goal as Chelsea beat Tottenham Hotspur 1-0 at Stamford Bridge.
His header early in the second half gave the Blues all three points and pushed them into the Premier League top four. 🔥
It was a much-needed win for Enzo Maresca’s team, especially after some poor games before the international break.
On the other hand, Spurs failed to show enough fight in this big London derby. ⚔️
Chelsea Start Strong with Early Chances ⚡
From the first minute, Chelsea looked hungry and full of energy.
Here’s what happened early on:
Nicolas Jackson missed a one-on-one chance against Vicario.
A poor clearance hit Jackson and nearly bounced into the net.
Malo Gusto fired a shot into the side netting.
Destiny Udogie almost scored an own goal under pressure.
Tottenham’s defence looked shaky, and Chelsea took control of the game from the start.
Caicedo Shines in Midfield After Injury Scare đź’Ş
Moises Caicedo needed treatment for a hamstring problem in the first half, but he recovered quickly and played very well.
He controlled the midfield by:
Breaking Spurs’ attacks.
Winning key tackles.
Passing with calm and confidence.
Tottenham had very few chances. Only Son Heung-min tested Robert Sanchez with a smart shot, but the Chelsea keeper was ready.
James Maddison and Jadon Sancho struggled to create clear chances, though Sancho did force a great save late in the half. 🧤
Fernandez Scores Easy Header to Give Chelsea the Lead âš˝
Just five minutes into the second half, Chelsea finally scored.
Jadon Sancho kept calm inside the box and passed to Cole Palmer.
Palmer delivered a perfect cross.
Enzo Fernandez timed his run well and nodded it in with ease.
1-0 Chelsea — and it was fully deserved.
VAR Cancels Two Goals ❌🖥️
Just like many games this season, VAR was busy again.
Caicedo scored a powerful shot, but it was disallowed because Levi Colwill was slightly offside.
Later, Pape Sarr smashed in what looked like a great equaliser, but VAR ruled he had fouled Caicedo in the buildup. No goal.
These decisions shaped the match — and added more drama to a tense derby.
Spurs Fans Turn on Postecoglou ⚠️
The Tottenham fans were clearly unhappy with their team and manager.
Boos rang out when Lucas Bergvall was subbed off for Pape Sarr.
After Sarr scored (before it was ruled out), Ange Postecoglou appeared to cup his ears at the away end — though he later said it wasn’t aimed at them.

Tottenham are now 14th on the table — far below expectations.
Their Europa League quarter-final vs. Eintracht Frankfurt is now a bigger focus.
