Dominant First Half
Chelsea started the match on the front foot, with Nicolas Jackson being denied early by Tottenham’s goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario.
Mykhailo Mudryk also threatened, though he was unable to find the target with his attempts. The breakthrough came in the 24th minute when Trevoh Chalobah met Conor Gallagher’s pinpoint free-kick with a powerful header that found the back of the net.
Despite Chelsea’s dominance, Tottenham had a golden opportunity to equalize late in the first half. However, Cristian Romero’s header from close range went wide, squandering the chance to draw level.
Chelsea Seal the Deal
In the second half, Tottenham showed more initiative, with Richarlison and Pedro Porro creating moments of danger.
Yet, it was Chelsea who secured the victory. Nicolas Jackson added a second goal for the Blues, heading home after Cole Palmer’s free-kick hit the woodwork, effectively sealing the win with roughly 20 minutes to go.
