Chelsea won against Tottenham 2-0 at Stamford Bridge. Nicolas Jackson scored a goal against Spurs, adding to his previous hat-trick in another match. He headed the ball into the net, making it two goals for Chelsea after Trevoh Chalobah’s goal in the first half.
Tottenham lost two London derby matches in a row. This is their third loss in a row, which is bad news for their chances of playing in the Champions League next season. They’re now seven points behind Aston Villa, and even though they have a game left to play, their next matches are tough ones against Liverpool and Manchester City. Chelsea is doing better, sitting eighth in the Premier League table, just three points behind Manchester United in sixth.
Chelsea’s first goal came from a set-piece, where Chalobah headed the ball into the net from a free-kick by Conor Gallagher. Tottenham’s coach, Ange Postecoglou, was not happy with how his team defended. In the second half, Spurs came out with more energy, but they couldn’t create many good chances.
With 20 minutes left, Cole Palmer’s free-kick hit the bar, and Jackson scored again from the rebound. This made it even harder for Spurs to come back, and they didn’t show any signs of being able to.
