Tottenham Hotspur’s misery at home continued on Saturday as they lost 1-0 to London foes Chelsea. A first-half strike from Joao Pedro was enough for the Pensioners to claim the derby bragging rights.

It was a terrible display from Thomas Frank’s side, one that was way below the standards they’ve set this season. The home side were on the back foot for much of the game, trying to hit Chelsea in transition. But, the Blues dominated possession for large parts, and when they ceded, Spurs could not do anything with the ball.

Thomas Frank made a questionable team selection, and he was dealt an early blow when Lucas Bergvall was forced to leave the pitch following a concussion. The Dane had to alter his tactics after Xavi Simons replaced Bergvall as a concussion substitute in the sixth minute, but the creative midfielder barely threatened the visitors’ defence.

Tottenham generated a mere 0.10 expected goals (xG), which demonstrates how blunt the hosts were going forward. In reality, the 1-0 scoreline flattered the Lilywhites as they probably should’ve lost the game by a bigger margin, but one man helped them avoid a humiliation in front of the home support.
