Spurs earned derby bragging rights on Sunday as second-half goals from Oliver Skipp and Harry Kane maintained their hunt for a top-four finish and extending the Blues’ miserable run under coach Graham Potter. Skipp picked up a clearance by Chelsea’s British record signing Enzo Fernandez and fired in from more than 20 yards, before Kane secured the three points when he pounced at the far post after a corner by Heung-min Son was flicked on by Eric Dier in the 82nd minute.
Chelsea, who failed to score for fourth time in five league games despite spending around £300 million on players in January alone, failed to create any clear-cut chances to get themselves back into the game.The win - the first for the hosts in nine league games against Chelsea - kept Spurs fourth in the table, four points ahead of fifth-placed Newcastle United who have played two games less.
Chelsea sit in 10th position, 14 points behind Spurs. Potter’s side have now won only two games in their last 15 in all competitions.
