Chelsea continued their renaissance under new manager Thomas Tuchel with a stunning 1-0 win against London rival Tottenham Hotspur. The Blues were the better team on the night so far and have yet to achieve a goal under German tactics, who have breathed new life into the club after the recent sacking of Frank Lampard.
Chosen to lead the line on the night, Timo Werner started the game well and nearly scored a header in the first minute. However, the former RB Leipzig striker played a key role in winning the penalty for the game’s solitary goal. His clever movement inside the box prompted Eric Dyer to commit an unnecessarily dishonest, as the referee pointed to the penalty spot.
Jorginho’s penalty marked a crucial win for Chelsea against Tottenham Hotspur
Jorinho stepped in and converted the spot-kick with relative ease, as the Blues broke the deadlock at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium after prolonged pressure.
The home side failed to make their presence felt and were guilty of being too passive, as they sat back down and let Chelsea come to them. In Harry Kane’s absence, Son Hyung-min was not in his best form, while Carlos Vinicius did not do enough to satisfy Jose Muthinho’s faith.
As Chelsea scored two wins and one draw in three matches under Tuchel, here are the best tweets from the game.
Big win for Chelsea. It should have been more, but it is a very good start to the Thomas Tuchel era. Thought Mason Mount was excellent as always #cfc

Big wins for Tuchel and another clean sheet, despite an injury to Silva, put Chelsea a bit near the end, but at least both deserved the win for trying to play football in the half # pay attention

A superb performance by Chelsea, which spurred the Spurs for the bulk of the game. With this system it is difficult not to see the colors of Conn’s early Chelsea days.
The Blues always feel that an overload is afoot and Mason Mount, which was tonight, is just everywhere.

Tonight Chelsea had 18 shots. Spurs was 19 …
… Overall in their home games with Man City, Arsenal, Liverpool and Chelsea this season.

Thomas Tuchel does not lose to Tottenham.
simple as that..

Mason Mount is getting pockets of space all over the pitch and his movement is good but his end product is not good today, we have got it from the Zychek bench if more shots are needed if needed but for now I will keep it to myself, Tuchel Another side dominates again.

Zolst Low, an assistant to Thomas Tuchel, is a friend of his time together at RB Leipzig with Timo Werner. This friendship continued over the Swiss Alps on a skiing holiday.
Fewer players than Tuchel is close enough and fit enough to train with them: https://t.co/iOjJYKPUCj #Cfc https://t.co/trTT6m1RNn

It is good to see Thomas Tuchel neglecting our youth as the British media said he would debut for Callum Hudson Odoi, Reece James and Mason Mt. 4
