Chelsea Beats Tottenham 1-0 in a tense London derby on Saturday at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. The victory lifted Chelsea into the Premier League’s top four, marking a crucial win just a day before Moisés Caicedo’s 24th birthday.
Joao Pedro scored the only goal in the 34th minute after Caicedo pressed Micky van de Ven and created the decisive chance. The result means Chelsea Beats Tottenham for the fifth consecutive time in all competitions, extending their dominance in the rivalry.
Tottenham struggled to find rhythm and managed only one shot on target throughout the match. Chelsea, on the other hand, maintained sharp defensive organisation and fluid transitions that frustrated Spurs’ attack.
Manager Enzo Maresca praised his team’s composure and discipline, adding that their collective effort reflected growing confidence and tactical understanding. However, he acknowledged the need for more clinical finishing in future games.
Fans reacted passionately on social media after the tense encounter. One user posted on X (formerly Twitter), “Chelsea Beats Tottenham again! Best birthday gift for Caicedo!”
Another wrote, “Solid performance. Maresca has transformed this team’s mentality.” Supporters also highlighted Caicedo’s relentless energy and ball-winning skills as key to the victory.
According to Opta data, Chelsea limited Spurs to a season-low expected goals figure of 0.05, showcasing their defensive control.
Analysts noted that the Blues’ pressing intensity and balanced structure under Maresca continue to yield consistent results.
As the team prepares for their next fixture, the result gives them renewed belief and momentum in the Premier League campaign.
