Enzo Fernández’s goal helped Chelsea take a big step towards securing Champions League football next season with a win over a disappointing Spurs side. Look back at the best facts and analyse the Opta data on our Chelsea vs Tottenham stats page.
Chelsea moved back into the Premier League top four with a London derby win over Tottenham Hotspur at Stamford Bridge.
Enzo Fernández scored the only goal of the game to give Chelsea a deserved victory against a Spurs side that struggled to make any impact in attack throughout the match.
Chelsea controlled much of the first half and would have been in the lead had it not been for good fortune – Nicolas Jackson hit the post in the opening minute – and a fantastic save from Guglielmo Vicario from Jadon Sancho just before half-time.
It took the Blues just five minutes into the second half to open the scoring, however. Cole Palmer’s excellent cross was met by the head of Fernández, with the Argentine planting his header past Vicario. It was Fernández fifth Premier League goal of the season – his best goal return in a league campaign since 2022 at River Plate in his home country.
Chelsea were denied a second goal minutes later after Moisés Caicedo’s excellent volley was disallowed following an offside in the build-up, eventually confirmed following a lengthy VAR check.
Tottenham failed to attempt a shot on target until Micky van de Ven’s weak strike at Robert Sánchez in the 66th minute of the match, but just three minutes later they thought they’d scored with their second, only for Pape Sarr’s long distance strike to be ruled out following VAR intervention. The midfielder was deemed to have fouled Caicedo before firing his shot past Sánchez. The goal was taken away and a yellow card was dished out instead.
Despite chasing the game from the 50th minute onwards, Tottenham offered little to suggest they would be able to force an equaliser, attempting just six shots after Fernández’s goal, despite over 12 minutes of added time. Son Heung-Min did come close late on, but his back-post sliding effort was kept out by a diving Sánchez.
It was yet another disappointing performance from Ange Postecoglou’s side in what has been an extremely underwhelming Premier League campaign. This latest defeat – their 16th in 30 league games in 2024-25 – leaves Spurs closer to the relegation zone (14 points) than the top four (18 points), where they would have aspired to have finished heading into the season.
Postecoglou has now lost all four of his Premier League meetings with Chelsea – the only side he has faced without yet picking up a point in the competition. This latest defeat saw him become the first ever Tottenham manager to lose each of his first four league games against Chelsea in charge of the club. Based on their performances this season, he might not get a fifth attempt.
