Unbeaten, undefeated and solid. The Chelsea of Thomas Tuchel, it already seems something else. Without excessive brightness, but convincing, the German team has regained reliability and surpassed a Tottenham that has not raised its head since Harry Kane’s injury. While the blues have regained the path of European positions, the spurs add their third consecutive defeat in the Premier, something that had not happened since 2012. Mourinho has work ahead of him, because one more year without qualifying for the Champions League, a goal that has 7 points, could be considered a sufficient failure to rethink the project.
The inequality between this listless Tottenham without Kane and Thomas Tuchel’s new Chelsea it was evident from the first moment. It cost a world for Mourinho’s men, no matter how much they played at home, and it only seemed a matter of time before the spurs committed a mistake that came when Dier, in an incomprehensible play in which he kicked uncontrollably from the ground within his area, committed penalty on Werner. Jorginho, from the penalty spot, deservedly opened the scoring.
The result would not move again for the rest of the game, but it left several readings, such as that Mason Mount, best player of the match, is convinced to become the leader of Chelsea. Be it with Frank Lampard on the bench, with Thomas Tuchel or with whoever gets ahead. The result leaves their sixths two points behind the Europa League and 4 of the Champions.
