Goals from Dominic Solanke and Dejan Kulusevski had put the home side 2-0 up inside 11 minutes in a dream start for Ange Postecoglou’s side.
However, Jadon Sancho pulled one back before half-time, with [Cole Palmer](/topic/cole-palmer) then equalising from the penalty spot after the break.
Enzo Fernandez struck to put the Blues ahead, before Palmer’s dinked penalty secured the three points.
_Here’s how Enzo Maresca’s side rated at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium..._
Backed to start despite Filip Jorgensen impressing in midweek. Status as No1 is becoming increasingly hard to justify following yet another jittery display.
Another start at right-back but was missed at the heart of midfield and moved there at half-time. Lucky to stay on the pitch after dreadful tackle on Sarr but took full advantage by winning the penalty.
Preferred to Tosin Adarabioyo as partner to Colwill. Played teammates into trouble with poor passes on more than one occasion.
Outsmarted by Solanke’s movement for Spurs opener.
A nightmare start for the defender, who slipped in the lead up to both early Tottenham goals. Changed his boots and recovered.
Snapped into midfield tackles. A bit unlucky to be victim of tactical change at half-time. Booked.
Continued his terrific form with a third goal in four league games.
Underwhelming display from the Portuguese, who came off second-best against Destiny Udogie.
Spent most of the first-half trying to dodge the hail of paper thrown from Spurs’s pre-match tifo. Fluffed huge chance when mis-kicking but was never going to falter from the penalty spot. Panenka for second was an utter delight.
Recalled to starting lineup despite Noni Madueke impressing in midweek and made it two goals in two league games with terrific strike. Chelsea’s best player. Involved in move for first penalty, too.
A different player now to the one who scored a bizarre hat-trick on this ground last season but was largely nullified here.
Gave Chelsea the balance they lacked before half-time.
