Madness broke out in London with the match between Chelsea and Tottenham, which experienced very peculiar situations and resulted in the Blues beating the Spurs 4-1 in the game that closed Matchday 12 of the Premier League this Monday.
To start the duel nothing better than a goal in the sixth minute after a shot by Kulusevski that bounced off a defender and ended up in the net for the 1-0 score.
After that came a cascade of reviews in the VAR to determine certain plays. For example, a goal disallowed by Heung Min Son and a sweep by midfielder Destiny Udogie that seemed like a red card, but the video referee screens showed that it was only a yellow card.
If Tottenham had the advantage and could not extend it through the VAR, their problems increased with the injury of defender Van de Ven who, after a sprint, injured his ankle when he stepped wrong and could not continue in the game.
To make matters worse, Spurs increased their nightmare in London by suffering the expulsion of Cristian ‘Cuti’ Romero. All in chaotic minutes, as central referee Michael Oliver first reviewed an offside by Chelsea and then the reckless foul by the Argentine defender.
All of this led to a penalty that was well taken by Cole Palmer to make it 1-1. So the end of the first half was extended by 12 minutes. Yes, the referee added all that time to the first half because of the large number of times the game was stopped.
In the second half, the emotions did not stop, even Son had a shot that tested Robert Sánchez’s reflexes, but failed to end in a goal.
Blue avalanche in London
From this moment the duel turned blue and they began to gain space until Nicolas Jackson made it 2-1 at 75 minutes on a counterattack. The Spurs had also lost Udogie to the double yellow and therefore there were only nine white players on the field.
Chelsea closed their victory with two more goals from Jackson, first in the 94th minute and then in the 97th minute after dribbling past the goalkeeper. All in a truly crazy duel that made it clear who is the king of London… for now.
