Antonio Conte and his Tottenham team are going to have to get used to a specific tactic Chelsea deployed in Sunday's entertaining 2-2 draw time and time again this season. Heading to Stamford Bridge on the back of an impressive 4-1 win over Southampton, Thomas Tuchel had a plan in place and it worked to perfection.
Eight days earlier Spurs had ripped Saints apart and they didn't even need Harry Kane or Son Heung-min on the scoresheet to secure all three points. While the former had the last laugh in west London as he helped the Lilywhites salvage a late draw deep into stoppage time, the latter was incredibly quiet and went another game without a goal.
That may not have been the case in the opening two minutes had Dejan Kulusevski played a better ball to Son after some sloppy play from Jorginho. Perhaps slightly rusty as the game was barely two minutes old, the Swede just couldn't get his pass right and it ended up behind Son just as he had burst past Reece James midway inside the Chelsea half.
