The London derby between Tottenham and Chelsea calls for goals, dismissals and controversial decisions. This year’s meeting between the two sides did not disappoint, as the side led by Mauricio Pochettino demolished his former side Tottenham Hotspur 4-1 in their own backyard. The Tottenham Hotspur stadium was witness to a Nicolas Jackson hattrick and two Spurs players being sent off.

Tottenham took the lead early on through Dejan Kulusevski, when his shot deflected off of a defender, fooling Robert Sanchez. However, Tottenham’s joy proved to be short-lived when Ange Postecoglou‘s side went a man down. Cristian Romero saw red for his tackle on Enzo Fernandez, before Cole Palmer scored from the spot to convert the penalty.

Destiny Udogie‘s red card proved to be fatal for the home side. His foul on Raheem Sterling earned him a second yellow, reducing the home side to just 9 men. Chelsea then put on the boosters against a depleted Spurs side.
