Chelsea FC vs Tottenham LIVE!
Chelsea cruised to a derby victory over Tottenham as Hakim Ziyech and Thiago Silva gave the Blues a 2-0 win at Stamford Bridge.
Thomas Tuchel’s side have struggled for form in recent weeks, but they were by far the better team against a Spurs team focused on frustrating the home team.
It could have been different for Tottenham had Harry Kane’s first-half strike stood, but the referee ruled it out for a foul on Silva as the striker controlled the ball.
Ziyech’s curling strike from distance gave Chelsea the lead just after the break, and ten minutes later Silva flicked home a free-kick as the Blues doubled their advantage.
Chelsea stay third in the table but move back to within ten points of Man City, but Pep Guardiola’s side have a game in hand. Tottenham are seventh, but their games in hand mean they still have a big chance in the top-four battle.
