Chelsea response
Cole Palmer
[On his Panenka] I made a decision to do it once I stepped again. I regarded on the clock and thought, ‘It’s a bit frantic, the sport’s far and wide’. I might see the keeper was able to dive so I assumed if I chipped it it’d go in and it did.
[What’s your process before a penalty? What do you think about?] I’m simply attempting to attain and fortunately it went in.
We knew with Arsenal and Metropolis drawing that we wanted to win, and we did.

It means all the pieces to beat our rivals. It’s an awesome win and we’re over the moon. We knew it will be robust however we belief that once we begin enjoying our soccer we’ll rating targets and that’s what we did. We had been 2-0 down however no one was panicking; it was early within the recreation and we knew we’d create large probabilities. It’s down as to if we rating them or not.
[On Palmer] When he scores large targets for us it calms everybody down. He retains doing that and hopefully it carries on sooner or later.
[On the title race] We’ve nonetheless received a lot to enhance on, just like the gaffer mentioned. After we’re able to push for the title we received’t be 2-0 down after 10 minutes.

These are the ages of Chelsea’s beginning XI at this time: 27, 23, 23, 21, 26, 20, 23, 24, 22, 24, 23.
The typical age of the aspect is round 23.4. There’s no precedent within the Premier League period for such a younger crew successful the league. No matter occurs this season – and the one factor we should always rule out at this stage is the Carabao Cup – the long run seems so brilliant.
Ange Postecoglou walks on the sphere to console his gamers, disappointment and confusion throughout his face. For Chelsea there’s solely pleasure and possibly a little bit of disbelief that they’re critical title contenders. I feel we are able to say that now.
Full time: Tottenham 3-4 Chelsea
That’s it. Enzo Maresca, normally so undemonstrative, clenches his first and roars with delight. Chelsea have come from 2-0 all the way down to win a splendidly entertaining recreation and transfer inside 4 factors of Liverpool.
90+9 min Werner’s cross is simply too heavy for Son, sliding in on the far submit. Sanchez is booked for delaying the goalkick.
Maddison took a brief nook on the left, danced around the again and picked out Son with a cautious go. He slid the ball by way of the group and into the online.

90 min: Chelsea substitutions Renato Veiga and Joao Felix substitute Marc Cucurella and Cole Palmer, who scored two targets apiece. Palmer’s had been for Chelsea.
89 min “And to suppose the most important purpose the sport stayed shut for this lengthy is that Marc Cucurella selected his boots poorly,” honks Eric Peterson.
88 min Jamie Carragher is now placing the boot in on Ange Postecoglou: “absolute garbage”, and many others. I feel he’s going excessive – ask Nani – however his level about Massive Ange’s inflexibility is tough to dispute. Although this can be a much better crew, their peculiar vulnerability evokes the Ossie Ardiles aspect of 1994-95.
88 min For all of the gloom round Spurs, loads of it justified, the margins stay fairly nice. It’s solely 20 minutes in the past that Son Heung-min missed a one-on-one to place them 3-2 forward.
86 min: Chelsea substitution Noni Madueke replaces the wonderful Pedro Neto.
85 min Beto is booked for a foul on Udogie. There was one thing happening with Enzo Fernandez after the aim; I’m unsure what it was however just a few of his teammates dragged him away.
84 min What a pleasure Cole Palmer is, a Seventies maverick with the substance of a Ballon d’Or contender.
GOAL! Tottenham 2-4 Chelsea (Palmer 84 pen)
Palmer rubs Spurs’ nostril in it with the daintiest of Panenkas. Sheer pleasant conceitedness!
83 min: Penalty to Chelsea! Chelsea break three on two from a Spurs nook. Sancho slows down and finally performs the ball to Palmer, who’s going nowhere when Sarr shoves him over from behind. That’s terrible defending.
81 min If Spurs lose it’ll be their seventh defeat in 15 league video games. But they’ve additionally received 7-0 in Manchester and have the fourth finest aim distinction within the league. We will’t ignore the accidents both. I feel they’d be mad to eliminate Ange Postecoglou, however I is perhaps within the minority.
79 min: Triple substitution for Spurs James Maddison, Archie Grey and Lucas Bergvall substitute Van de Ven, Yves Bissouma and Dejan Kulusevski.
78 min I’ll have jumped the gun on Van de Ven, who’s being handled as if for cramp relatively than a hamstring tear. Both method he’s coming off.
78 min “Don’t know should you caught that incredible second in Fernandez’s celebration the place he tries to take his shirt off and Jackson drags it again down once more,” says Edan Tal. “Shocked that doesn’t occur extra!”

GOAL! Tottenham 2-3 Chelsea (Fernandez 73)
Chelsea’s comeback is full!
72 min Porro’s clipped free-kick is headed large of the far submit by the stretching Van de Ven. The Chelsea defence did effectively to make sure he couldn’t get a transparent run on the ball.
71 min That likelihood appears to have woken Spurs up, each the gamers and the followers. Kulusevski is fouled simply outdoors the world on the best by Badiashile. This is a chance…
68 min: What an opportunity for Son! Solanke screws a go in behind in direction of Udogie, palpably offside. Everybody stops besides Son, who zooms by way of to gather the ball, transfer by way of on aim and curl simply large of the far submit.
Chelsea would have gone mad had that gone in, though I’m fairly positive the aim would have stood as a result of Udogie didn’t contact the ball. For a finisher of Son’s class it was an excellent likelihood.
66 min Within the second half Chelsea have had 73 per cent possession and 5 photographs to Spurs’ none.
63 min There’s little doubt Chelsea deserve that aim, having been a lot the higher crew since half-time. Spurs, who misplaced at Brighton from 2-0 up, will now be fearing the worst. In hindsight I’d have introduced on Maddison relatively than Werner to offer some composure in possession.
Forster dived to his left, Palmer curled the ball into the opposite nook at tempo. Even when Forster had gone the best method he’d have struggled to avoid wasting that.
What a recreation!
