An absolute catastrophe of a gap ten minutes noticed Chelsea go two objectives behind, with slips from Marc Cucurella permitting Brennan Johnson in twice, and Spurs not asking questions on how, when, or why.
Chelsea had been clearly rattled, however a pleasant purpose from Jadon Sancho settled us again down — although errors in possession remained frequent and the sport simply grew to become extra of a back-and-forth affair with possibilities at both finish.
The Blues made a significantly better begin to the half, exerting management and stress and just some wonderful goalkeeping stored Spurs forward.
But there was nothing Fraser Forster might do towards Cole Palmer from the spot, after Moisés Caicedo burst into the field to win a transparent penalty.
Having equalized, and survived a second of ill-focus that led to a 1-v-1 from Son, Chelsea pressed for the lead. And we didn’t have to attend too lengthy, Enzo Fernández lashing one in with this left foot — Palmer instrumental in setting that up.
And then the icing on this most great cake arrived, with Palmer successful a penalty, which he then dispatched with a delightfully cheeky Panenka.
Winter is coming, child.
Spurs acquired a late comfort, however fortunately they ran out of time to do something extra.
Carefree.
