Match Report

Since Tottenham Hotspur were the only unbeaten team in the league, they were very confident and a favorite against Chelsea. The Spurs also had made their start superb by taking an early lead. The home team took the lead in just five minutes of the match as Dejan Kulusevski found the net in the 6th minute. Tottenham Hotspur could have doubled their lead in the 14th minute, but Son's goal was ruled out due to offside. The same happened to Chelsea also. In the 23rd minute, Raheem Sterling scored for Chelsea but was ruled out due to offside. However, Chelsea started creating chances and showed a great mentality in this match. Despite conceding early, they never gave up and fought for their lives. The scenario started changing when Spurs defender Cristian Romero fouled his native Enzo Fernandez inside the box. Because of this ruthless foul, the match referee showed Romero a red card and offered a penalty kick to Chelsea. Cole Palmer, however, scored from the spot kick and leveled the scoreline for Chelsea. Eventually, the first half ended in a 1-1 tie as both sides failed to score more. But coming back from the break, Chelsea started dominating the 10-men Tottenham Hotspur. The home side had gone under more pressure when another player, Destiny Udogie, was sent off for his second yellow card in the 55th minute. As a result, Tottenham Hotspur became a 9-man team, and Chelsea took that advantage brilliantly. The Blues created chances after chances and got their second goal in the 75th minute. Striker Nicolas Jackson made the scoreline 2-1 with a beautiful finish. The 22-year-old striker stole the show as he scored two more goals in injury time to complete his first-ever hat-trick in the Premier League. His second goal came in the 94th minute with the help of Conor Gallagher. Nicolas Jackson completed his hattrick within three minutes as he found the net just before the final whistle. In the end, Chelsea secured a thrilling 4-1 victory against Tottenham Hotspur, which should give them a massive boost for the next games.

We Deserve to Win - Pochettino

Mauricio Pochettino, the manager of Chelsea and the former manager of Tottenham Hotspur, believes his side deserves this victory. "I think we deserved to win," said Pochettino after the match. "We forced them to make too many mistakes. Tottenham was better in the first 15 minutes and then I think we bossed the game, our performance was good and forced them into making mistakes. If you look at everything you could see during the game, I think it was fair."
