Spurs vs Chelsea Previous Fixture

Chelsea 2 – 0 Spurs (Thursday 2^nd May 2024)

A fierce local London Derby was renewed once more when Ange Postecoglou’s Spurs met Chelsea. This is an iconic Premier League fixture, and the last time that they went face to face in a match was at Stamford Bridge back on Thursday, 2nd May 2024. Spurs knew that victory would enhance their chances of securing a UEFA Champions League place.

Ahead of this match, Tottenham was in fifth place with 60 points to their name, and if results went their way, a victory against the Blues at Stamford Bridge would bring them to within just three points of Aston Villa in the final UEFA Champions League spot in fourth place.

In their most recent Premier League game before facing Fulham, Spurs were narrowly beaten 3 – 2 in the North London Derby against Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal. Tottenham’s Argentine central defender Cristian Romero scored one of their goals, while South Korea international forward Son Heung-Min scored the other one from a penalty (87’).

Meanwhile, local rivals Chelsea sat in 9th place with a total of 47 points as they looked to qualify for European Football for the following campaign come the end of the 2023/24 season. They were only three points off Newcastle United in 7th place, and the Blues knew they could climb up the table and leapfrog the Magpies with a victory should other results go their way.

In the end, it was to be a 2 – 0 defeat for Tottenham in their most recent Premier League battle with Chelsea. After a couple of early chances for the hosts, Spurs had their first opportunity of the game through Brennan Johnson, who had his powerful attempt on goal blocked well by the Blues’ defenders (6’).

Chelsea did, though, take the lead, making it 1 – 0 thanks to a header from central defender Trevoh Chalobah, which found the top right corner following a free-kick from Conor Gallagher. This opening goal came just less than half an hour of the game gone (24’).

Spurs then came close with a header on goal from a very close range from Cristian Romero, who narrowly missed the target (38’).

The halftime whistle soon came, and Chelsea had a narrow one-goal lead going into the break. Tottenham had the first opportunity of the second half, and Sweden international forward Dejan Kulusevski’s shot on goal was blocked well by the hosts’ defenders (46’).

Shortly after that, Tottenham’s Brazilian International forward Richarlison made an effort on goal, which was also blocked after initially receiving the ball in his fee from Kulusevski (53’). Less than 10 minutes later, Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg forced a save from Djordje Petrovic, with his shot having looked destined to find the bottom right corner after receiving a ball from Emerson Royal (64’).

Nicolas Jackson then doubled Chelsea’s advantage with less than twenty minutes of the match remaining, with the forward finding the top left corner of Guglielmo Vicario’s net with a great header from close range (72’).

Following this goal, both sides had chances to increase the score, but ultimately, Chelsea came out on top as 2 – 0 winners when the final whistle blew at the end of the second half.

Spurs had the most possession of the ball throughout this intense Premier League contest, with 62.6%, compared with Chelsea’s total of 37.4%. The Blues had more shots on target, with 5 compared with Spurs’ 3, while Tottenham had more shots as a whole, with 19 compared with the Blues’ 16.

Despite this defeat against the Blues, Spurs remain in fifth place with 60 points. Ange Postecoglou’s Tottenham still have a game in hand on their Champions League Qualification rivals, Aston Villa, in fourth place.
