Chelsea delivered a stunning comeback to defeat Tottenham Hotspur 4-3 in a thrilling Premier League encounter at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. This remarkable win moves Chelsea within four points of league leaders Liverpool, reigniting their pursuit of the title.
Tottenham seized the early advantage, taking full advantage of Chelsea’s defensive lapses. Dominic Solanke struck first, pouncing on a Brennan Johnson assist, while Dejan Kulusevski doubled the lead with a precise finish. Chelsea appeared rattled, with Marc Cucurella’s errors proving costly.
Despite the shaky start, Chelsea found a lifeline before halftime. Jadon Sancho reduced the deficit with a precise shot, injecting hope into the Blues’ camp. In the second half, Chelsea turned the tide dramatically. Cole Palmer equalized from the penalty spot after Yves Bissouma brought down Moises Caicedo. Shortly after, Enzo Fernandez unleashed a powerful drive to hand Chelsea the lead.
The Blues extended their advantage when Palmer converted a second penalty, coolly chipping the ball into the net following a foul by Pape Matar Sarr. Although Son Heung-min scored in stoppage time to give Spurs a glimmer of hope, Chelsea held firm for a hard-fought win.
This victory not only underscores Chelsea’s resilience but also highlights their growing form under Enzo Maresca. Spurs, on the other hand, face mounting concerns, particularly in defense, despite their promising start to the game. Cristian Romero’s early injury further weakened Tottenham, leaving Fraser Forster exposed to Chelsea’s relentless attack.
Chelsea’s performance cements their position as serious contenders this season, with Liverpool now firmly in their sights.
