The key moment of the game came from the boots of Hakim Ziyech. The Moroccan was invented one of the goals of the season: a perfect shot from the balcony of the area that was cleaned by the squad of cry in a difficult way to improve. The perfect squad, which unbalanced a game in which the defensive approaches of two coaches who applied a plan to deactivate themselves were prevailing.
Both Chelsea and Tottenham resorted to a four man defense to try to dislodge the rival. Conte’s men gave up the weight of the game in the first half, although they warned of their intentions against them with a Kane’s goal which was annulled for a foul on Thiago Silva. Tuchel for his part surrounded Lukaku of many balloon pumps: Hudson-Odoi, Mount, and Ziyech. The intention of recovering the best version of Lukaku ended with the midfielders making the difference.

The best chances did not come until the restart, and with Hudson-Odoi as a catalyst. End Sat thong to arm the counter that would end up in the Ziyech’s chupinazo, that Lloris could only follow with his eyes to his net. Stamford Bridge lit up, the Moroccan touched the double in another left-footed shot that Lloris stopped, and they ended up sentencing a set piece. A foul caused by, again, Hudson-Odoi, who Mount served and Thiago Silva combed the net.
Conte tried to make a move giving entry to Lucas Moura and Skipp, and giving up two lines of four, but it was too late and insufficient to penetrate Tuchel’s wall. Chelsea recorded their first league win at Stamford Bridge since December 11 and reminded Tottenham that they will have to sweat if they want to finish in Champions position this season.
