The Chelsea footballers beat Tottenham 2-0 in the end of the 26th round of the English league in the London derby and got closer to the top of the cup. Spurs did not score for the third time in a row and in the fifth place of the table, they missed the promotion to the Champions League.
Chelsea, led by former successful Tottenham coach Mauricio Pochettino, sent Trevoh Chalobah into the lead in the 24th minute with a header under the crossbar. Nicolas Jackson also added an insurance goal in the second half with a header, who sent the ball into the net off the crossbar after Cole Palmer’s free kick, which was just a few centimeters short of his 21st goal of the season, with which he would have overtaken Manchester City’s Erling Haaland as the league’s top scorer. .
The “Blues” are currently eighth and are three points behind Manchester United, who are in sixth place in the cup, with four games to go. Tottenham are seven points behind fourth-placed Aston Villa, albeit with a game in hand, after three consecutive defeats.
