Chelsea’s resurgence with new manager Thomas Tuchel continued on Thursday, when a penalty converted by Jorginho meant a 1-0 win at home for Tottenham, who suffered their third loss in a row.
In contrast, the poor form of those led by José Mourinho was evidenced by the way in which Eric Dier recklessly tripped Timo Werner to get the penalty, converted into a goal by Jorginho in the 24th minute.
Chelsea strengthened in the search for the ticket-granting positions to the Champions League.
Tottenham have shifted away from those top four instead, in a disappointing second season under Portugal’s Mourinho.
Negative follow up
The Spurs also fell in their stadium last Thursday, against Liverpool, before suffering a collapse on the Brighton court. It is the first time that Mourinho has suffered consecutive losses at home in his career as a manager.
Such a performance is a far cry from the strategist’s glory days during his two spells at Chelsea, with which he lifted the Premier Trophy three times and turned Stamford Bridge into a fortress.
Faced with the losing streak, Mourinho will have to trust that Daniel Levy, the Tottenham president, will be more patient than Roman Abramovich, the owner of Chelsea.
The temperamental Russian mogul twice fired Mourinho, as part of a technical parade at the Blues, where Frank Lampard was fired just last month.
Tuchel is safe for now, with three games unbeaten since taking the reins, including two wins and a draw that have put Chelsea in sixth place, four points behind fourth-place Liverpool.
Tottenham is three units lower, in the eighth step but with one game less.
He obviously misses the injured Harry Kane, who could return next week after sustaining ankle injuries.
