Enzo Maresca's men managed to completely turn the game around after conceding two goals at the start of the match.
Chelsea beat Tottenham away in the central match Round 15 of the English Premier League (EPL) of the 2024/25 season. The match at the Spurs stadium in London ended with a score of 3:4.
The hosts managed to score two quick goals – Dominic Solanke opened the scoring in the 5th minute, and Dejan Kulusevski scored in the 11th minute. It should be noted that both times the goal was scored because the Blues' defender Marc Cucurella slipped and fell to the ground.
In the 17th minute, the “pensioners” reduced the gap – Cucurella made an assist for Jadon Sancho.
In the second half, Enzo Maresca's charges will continue to make a comeback. In the 61st minute, Cole Palmer equalized the score, converting a penalty.
Chelsea then scored twice more against Spurs to snatch victory. In the 74th minute, Enzo Fernandez scored an accurate strike, and in the 84th minute, Palmer scored a double, converting a penalty for the second time.
The final score in the match was set in the 90+7th minute by Son Heung-min, but his goal could not save Tottenham from defeat.
Chelsea's Ukrainian winger Mykhailo Mudryk was not included in the squad for this match due to illness.
