Chelsea crushed Tottenham by playing more than two people
The home team lost heavily, but the Tottenham audience still stood up after the final whistle, applauding the efforts of Son Heung-min and his teammates.
Striker Nicolas Jackson scored a hat-trick, but missed many more dangerous opportunities.
Chelsea players celebrate Jackson’s goal (center) against the home team at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, London, round 11 of the Premier League on the evening of November 6, 2023.
The first half had many details to mention, especially when referee Michael Oliver blew the final whistle when the clock only reached the 58th minute. With 12 minutes of extra time, two goals, three were rejected, five yellow cards, one
The party started in the sixth minute, when Tottenham deployed the ball short from home, allowing Malang Sarr to open the right flank for Dejan Kulusevski.
Coach Ange Postecoglou directed Tottenham’s defense to push forward in this match, helping the home team play dangerously.
Every few minutes, the match has a highlight.
Three minutes later, Thiago Silva pushed behind him, causing Cristian Romero to fall, but the referee did not blow a penalty.
The referee initially recognized the goal, but Sterling was not too excited because he knew he had let the ball touch his hand.
Romero seemed unable to control his emotions after that situation, continuing to play carelessly.
Caicedo’s goal was not recognized by VAR, because Nicolas Jackson was in an offside position, jumped to avoid the ball and was considered to be interfering in the situation.
It didn’t take Oliver long to decide to award a penalty to Chelsea, and draw a red card that directly disqualified Romero.

Referee Oliver issued a red card, disqualifying Romero.
On the penalty spot, Cole Palmer shot to the right corner and goalkeeper Vicario touched it, but the ball still hit the inside edge of the post and into the net.
Coach Postecoglou was angry with the progress of the match, so he received a yellow card.
This match will still be mentioned a lot, as the last minute is still unpredictable.
The Australian coach still directed Tottenham to play with a high defense in the second half, helping the away team create dozens of dangerous opportunities.

Tottenham’s defense (white shirt) raises the offside trap in a live ball situation.
The advantage of playing two people is too great, but Jackson, Sterling, Mykhailo Mudryk and then Marc Cucurella squandered the opportunities to face each other.
Tottenham put the ball in the net again, just four minutes later, when Eric Dier volleyed home a one-touch volley at the second post.
The home team continued to push the pressure up, but it turned into a double-edged sword.

Striker Nicolas Jackson scored the goal that sealed Chelsea’s 4-1 victory.
The match ended in the seventh minute of extra time in the second half, when Palmer passed a one-touch pass from home through the Tottenham defense, allowing Jackson to dive past the goalkeeper and simply tap into an empty net, completing the hat-trick.
This defeat may not affect Tottenham’s morale, but they will lose strength when Romero misses three matches, and it is unclear when Ven and Maddison will return.
