How Tuchel did it in a row wins

Much of the pre-game conversation focused on Werner as the misfiring Chelsea striker wanted to get back under the goals – the Blues summer signing came into play after scoring just once in all of their last 18 competitions – and the German would have done this almost immediately after kick-off with a header that was only a few centimeters over the crossbar.

That was a foretaste of the future in the first half, however, as the visitors strangled the trial early on, pushed back their London rivals and dominated possession as Spurs battled to get out of their own half.

Carlos Vinicius was forced to plow a lonely furrow in attack on his first Premier League start for the North Londoners and it was no surprise when Chelsea rightly scored the goal in the middle of the first half.

Cesar Azpilicueta recognized Werner’s run in the area and while there didn’t seem to be any real danger, Dier couldn’t resist hanging a leg out and so the English center-back caught his husband leaving referee Andre Marriner no choice but to point to the Job.

Team news

Spurs gave Carlos Vinicius his first start in the Premier League for the London derby against Chelsea.

Vinicius has only appeared as a substitute since his October loan from Benfica, but was reinforced in the absence of Harry Kane and Spurs returned to the four.

In the meantime, Chelsea started with Marcos Alonso and Timo Werner in a 3-4-3 formation when N’Golo Kante was canceled in Thomas Tuchel’s first away game.

After a recent mixed penalty record, Jorginho gave up his normal jumping and jumping routine and instead drove the ball into the lower left corner of the net to score his fourth league goal of the season. Kicks.

Despite losing seasoned central defender Thiago Silva with a muscle problem nine minutes before the break, Chelsea continued to dominate in the driving rain and narrowly missed several times in the second half to double their lead.

A combination of good defense against Serge Aurier – the right-back made an important interception to deny a certain Werner goal – but poor finish and Hugo Lloris’ reflexes kept the result balanced until the end.

And on another night, substitutes Erik Lamela and Lucas Moura may have scored an unjustified point for the hosts before Vinicius got past the far post late as Chelsea tried to protect their slim advantage.

Thomas Tuchel was enthusiastic about the presentation of his team at Spurs

“Spurs are miles away from Champions League football”

Ex-Spurs midfielder Jamie O’Hara speaks on Sky Sports News:

“Spurs would have been booed out of the park for this performance. Once at halftime and again at full time.

“They had a 10-minute break in the second half where they might want to press but it was too desperate. When they got the ball there was no plan, no one got in their pockets trying to make a difference It was all lackluster, trying to get the ball to Carlos Vinicius and he didn’t hold it up.

“It was a really disappointing performance. It looks like they are working so hard on the defensive to keep a clean sheet that they don’t know what to do with it if they move forward. There is no plan and nothing to do.” Your game. There is no movement or rotation.

“It was really bad and the salvation for the players out there was that they would have been booed off the pitch if fans had been in the ground.

“Tactically, Spurs were totally outclassed and that happened a couple of times. Brighton and Graham Potter did it with a smaller team over the weekend. You can’t say Chelsea are a better team with a better squad. It wasn’t good enough and he. ” He (Jose Mourinho) has to organize this team, organize the way they play, stick with it and get something out of them.

“Right now, Spurs are miles of Champions League football.”

Man of the Game – Mason Mount

There was a lot of chatter when Tuchel skipped Mount from his very first Chelsea line-up at home against Wolves last month. However, the midfielder has since started the next two games, which has undoubtedly caught the new manager’s attention in both clashes.

Mount excelled in Chelsea’s 2-0 win over Burnley at Stamford Bridge on Sunday before performing in north London four days later and now he will be hard to lose.

The England international played in a forward line with Callum Hudson-Odoi to support Werner. He was the attacking conductor of his crew, and all good things came through him.

The only thing the 22-year-old was missing was a deserved goal, which would have been scored without a terrific stop from Lloris to deny it 14 minutes from time.
