Premier League/ Chelsea upset Tottenham; stop Arsenal

Chelsea triumphed in the super challenge of week 15 of the Premier League against Tottenham. The 4-3 success of the blues in the London derby was realized in reverse, in a duel with strong emotions.

Solanke and Kulusevski created the illusion of an easy victory for Tottenham, with two goals scored in the first 11 minutes of the challenge. Both Spurs players took advantage of Cucurella's mistake and sent the ball into the net.

However, the game had only just begun and an entertaining first half bookended Sancho's goal, which brought Chelsea back into the game in the 17th. 

In the second half, Enzo Maresca's team was dominant and in the 61st they restored the balance with Cole Palmer's penalty.

The Blues star also inspired the big upset in the 73rd minute when his cross from the right was deflected into the perfect assist for Enzo Fernandez to put Chelsea 3-2 up.

The "poker" was sealed by Palmer, with another 11-meter, as Tottenham's reaction with the third goal from Son in the 96th was not enough to avoid defeat.

Chelsea climbs to second place with 31 points, benefiting from Arsenal's suspension in the next London derby against Fulham. Saliba responded to Jimenez's advantage, with the match ending in a 1-1 draw.

The Everton-Liverpool derby was postponed due to weather conditions, yet the Reds remain at the top of the Premier League with 35 points, 4 more than Chelsea. (A2 Televizion)
