Chelsea showed glimpses of their absolute best under Enzo Maresca as they came back from 2-0 down to win against Tottenham on Sunday.
While Nicolas Jackson was obviously gutted at his own performance, the attack were the real positives as far as the Blues were concerned, as they chipped in to help recover from Marc Cucurella’s nightmare start as a result of his choice of footwear.
Jadon Sancho made it back-to-back Premier League goals to kick the fightback off, while Enzo Fernandez kept up his rich vein of form in front of goal with a goal that sent the away fans at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium crazy.
Cole Palmer was at his very best in the second half in particular, and helped round the game off with two penalties.
