If a Chelsea manager has desperately needed a result in recent years, a trip to Tottenham usually did the trick. Not for Graham Potter, though, and not for this Chelsea team. Instead, they became the latest victims of second-half Spurs, as Oliver Skipp scored his first Tottenham goal 11 seconds after the restart, before Harry Kane sealed a first Premier League win against their London rivals since 2018.
Skipp’s strike was Tottenham’s first goal against Chelsea in their new stadium and it only goes to deepen the crisis facing Potter as his winless run extends to six matches. Chelsea’s relegation form continues with back-to-back defeats, while their muddled and confused attack has now gone three games without scoring. Potter was not helped by his team here, but his own struggles to stop Chelsea’s slide were summed up by the sight of Mykhailo Mudryk and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang preparing to come on as Kane wrapped up their victory in the 82nd minute.
