Today, Tottenham let the leadership of the English Football League slip away to Manchester City, after suffering its first defeat in the competition, and then with a thrashing against Chelsea (4-1), at the end of the 11th round.
It was a ‘nightmare’ night for Tottenham, who fell for the first time in the current edition of the Premier League, and with a ‘bang’, in a match in which they ended with nine units and with Senegalese striker Nicolas Jackson scoring a ‘hat- trick’ for the London rival.
Returning to his former club’s field, Argentine coach Mauricio Pochettino enjoyed his biggest victory since taking charge of Chelsea and ‘helped’ Manchester City finish the day with the new isolated leader of the competition.
On Saturday, the English champions beat Bournemouth 6-1 at home, with a double from Bernardo Silva.
In London, everything started well for Tottenham, with Swedish winger Dejan Kulusevski, in the sixth minute, giving Spurs the lead, but everything changed in the 35th minute, when Argentine center back Romero scored a penalty and ended up being sent off.
Palmer restored equality in that move and Tottenham went down to nine players in the second half, in the 55th minute, this time with Italian midfielder Destiny Udogie naively receiving the second yellow and the subsequent red.
Spurs’ resistance lasted until near the end, but Nicolas Jackson ended up scoring a hat-trick until the final whistle, with accurate shots in the 75th, 90+4 and 90+7 minutes, in the team’s biggest victory of the season. Chelsea, which is still in crisis in the Premier League.
