Jadon Sancho was one of seven changes for Chelsea during Sunday’s trip to Tottenham.
The two London rivals played out a memorable seven-goal thriller in the Premier League, which finished as an epic 4-3 win for Chelsea.
Dominic Solanke and Dejan Kulusevski both scored inside 11 minutes to put Spurs ahead. However, Blues attacker Jadon Sancho scored in the 17th minute with an excellent goal to make it 2-1 at half-time.
Enzo Maresca’s side completed a stunning comeback in the second period. First, Cole Palmer made it 2-2 via the penalty spot before Enzo Fernandez netted to put the visitors in front. Palmer then added his second from the penalty spot to make it 4-2 before Heung-Min Son’s consolation in stoppage time.

Chelsea fans agree on Jadon Sancho
Many Chelsea supporters on social media think that Sancho is the best winger at the club after watching his eye-catching performance against Spurs.
The 24-year-old’s thunderous goal reduced the deficit after the hosts raced into an early two-goal lead. Afterwards, he was extremely positive on the ball and a major threat cutting infield from the left flank.
Here are Blues fans on X discussing Sancho’s display away to Spurs:
@CfcBaji claimed: “Jadon Sancho is our best winger and it was obvious from the day we signed him. World class player.”
