Tottenham 3-4 Chelsea: Player Ratings and Match Highlights
Dec 8, 2024
Chelsea picked up a huge 4-3 win against Spurs to strengthen their position in second place in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon.
After a fast-paced and energetic start to the match, Spurs took the lead after a calamitous slip from Marc Cucurella which Brennan Johnson capitalised on. Tottenham's winger ran down the right wing and put in a pinpoint accurate cross which Dominic Solanke slotted home past Robert Sanchez whose positioning was extremely questionable.
Yet another slip from the Spaniard, Cucurella led to Spurs taking a 2-0 lead inside 11 minutes. This time, the Spaniard's slip was pounced on by Dejan Kulusevski, who slotted it home right into the bottom corner.
Despite their early lead, Spurs slightly lost control of the game and it led to Jadon Sancho firing an excellent low shot past Fraser Forster on the 17-minute mark. Sancho was phenomenal all afternoon and got the goal he rightfully deserved.
In a big change at half-time, arguably Chelsea's best player from the first half, Romeo Lavia, was replaced by Malo Gusto. Despite Lavia making way, Chelsea got better and were tormenting the Spurs defence which eventually led to Moises Caicedo being brought down by Yves Bissouma in the box, which gave them a chance to equalise. As expected, Cole Palmer stepped up and calmly slotted the penalty into the corner.
