Tottenham Hotspur 0-1 Chelsea result – Joao Pedro scores winner as Spurs' winless run at home continues

Chelsea returned to winning ways with a dominant 1-0 win against London rivals Tottenham Hotspur, as Joao Pedro netted the game’s only goal.

Enzo Maresca got the response he wanted after his side’s 2-1 defeat at Sunderland last weekend.

Alejandro Garnacho caused problems for the hosts all night and found Joao Pedro early on, but goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario matched his effort.

However, when Moises Caicedo won the ball from the home defenders, Joao Pedro made no mistake to net the winner.

Goalkeeper Vicario kept Spurs in the match denying Joao Pedro again before substitute Jamie Gittens blazed over a late chance.

The win moved Chelsea level on points with Spurs inside the top four. Meanwhile, Thomas Frank’s side continued their run of winless Premier League matches at the London Stadium – dating back to the opening day of the season.

An expected goals of 0.05 says it all for Tottenham.

A perfect first half performance by Caicedo set the building blocks for his side’s victory against Spurs.

Enzo Maresca’s side are back in the top four and draw level with Tottenham on points following a convincing 1-0 victory.

Spurs offered very little in the derby match and are far from the finished product under Thomas Frank.

A perfect performance by Chelsea who bounced back from their defeat at Sunderland last weekend.

Chelsea win the London derby 1-0. Tottenham’s search for a home victory continues and their fans were left frustrated by a poor showing.

Chelsea hit their hosts again. Fernandez plays in Neto who this time shoots at goal. However, goalkeeper Vicario saves his side with a fine save.

Spurs make a hash of a free-kick and should have been punished.

Spurs have six minutes to find something. The home fans are getting desperate and claim handball against James as he controls an awkward ball into the box.

Fofana makes the slow walk off the pitch and even leans down to do his laces. On comes Adarabioyo for the final moments.

The Spurs fans are lifted by a corner opportunity. However, the delivery is easy for Sanchez to snatch the ball out the air.

It has been a very physical game and Neto is feeling it in these last 10 minutes.

He receives some treatment and Spurs fans are unhappy that their team gave the ball back.

It feels like there could be a final twist in this one. Let’s hope so anyway. Spurs are yet to create anything of note in this second half.

However, Chelsea have failed to finish them off.

It’s a tired challenge by Kudus who is deservedly shown a yellow card. Meanwhile, Lavia is on for Gusto for Chelsea.

Excellent attacking play by Chelsea results in James seeing a stinging effort saved by Vicario.

Simons is off for Odobert; Johnson on for Muani; Porro off for Udogie 

Tensions boil over again as Fernandez goes in with a high boot which catches Palhinha. It was certainly wreckless.

Garnacho is far from happy to make way as Gittens takes his place.

Another set-piece opportunity for Spurs. However, Porro and Kudus play it short and Cucurella chases it down and wins the ball. You can understand the frustration of the home fans.
