If there was ever a moment to sum up Chelsea's problems - an embarrassment of riches but no results - this was it.
Chelsea arrived at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium with an ominously good record against Spurs at this stadium. It was a record that Graham Potter insisted would give his side a minor boost, but which in reality was just crying out to be broken.
The Blues had a perfect record at Tottenham's new stadium. They were unbeaten in their last eight Premier League meetings with Spurs, who had only won seven of their previous 61 meetings with them in the league.
