Chelsea 0-2 Spurs, Premier League: Post-match reaction, ratings

Chelsea made a decent start to the game, and forced Spurs into several mistakes with some effective high pressing amid the non-ideal conditions of an absolute downpour. Unfortunately, we were not able to make that early pressure count. A fantastic Cole Palmer ball across the six-yard box was especially begging for a striker's touch: alas, João Pedro was missing in action after picking up an injury in training.

After the first 15 or so minutes, Spurs started to gain control over proceedings, with Chelsea dropping off and letting the visitors have the lion's share of possession. Spurs were especially threatening down the left wing, with Josh Acheampong having to try his best to contain Mathys Tel. Mike Penders, on his full Premier League debut, was called into action a couple times, making important saves from Tel, as well as Omar Marmoush on a cutback.
