A conclusion:
Chelsea are flying, and thanks to the squad depth available to Enzo Maresca, it is unlikely they will be slowing down. For Spurs, they are in trouble. More losses than wins, an injury-ravaged squad, and fans up in arms. Not exactly the most positive of situations

Postecoglou comforts Romero after the defender is taken off due to injury
Ange Postecoglou (Spurs):
Prior to the game, the Spurs manager had been involved in a shouting match with travelling fans after their loss to Bournemouth. And while injuries and moments of madness are not his doing, it is still a points game. Who knows how long these poor results will continue for

Cucurella switches over boots after slipping up twice to give Spurs two goals
Marc Cucurella (Chelsea):
Another solid performance from the Spaniard. Added another assist to his collection, and defended with relative comfort. But it’s best if he does not think about the first 11 minutes. Slipping and sliding all over the place to give away two Spurs goals

Bissouma on the floor after taking out Moises Caicedo and giving away a penalty
Yves Bissouma (Spurs):
What was he thinking? Jamie Carragher called it a ‘braindead’ decision. Harsh, but completely justified. You cannot be making challenges like that, not when your team is being pinned back by this ruthless Chelsea side. Spurs should be looking at replacements in the future

Jadon Sancho (Chelsea):
Safe to say he’s going about the right way to get people back on side. A fantastic goal and a dynamic performance by the on-loan winger. With five G/A contributions in the league so far, he is looking like a real attacking threat

Dejan Kulusevski (Spurs):
Despite the loss, another goal for the Swedish forward will again prove to fans that he remains Spurs’ player of the season so far. He put in an overall solid performance, but was very lucky to escape a red card

Enzo Fernandez scores with a powerful strike
Enzo Fernandez (Chelsea):
He’s really come into his own as of late. Another goal coming quickly after scoring against Southampton and Aston Villa. While the £106m price tag has still not been fully justified, it is certainly a step in the right direction for the Argentinian international

Micky van de Ven is assisted off after his persisting injury became too much
Micky van de Ven/Cristian Romero (Spurs):
Both were injury risks coming into the game. Lo and behold, they did not make it through the full 90. A decision that backfired for Postecoglou, and now with Ben Davies out with a hamstring issue, Ragu Dragusin is his only senior centre back option

Cole Palmer (Chelsea):
What else do we say about him at this point? Two penalties scored, and he makes the game look so easy at the age of 22. He can do no wrong right now
