Events
Match Events
- 0' KICK OFF: Chelsea FC gets underway.
- 5' Over 5 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
- 10' The energy levels are beginning to show. Frank Lampard might look to freshen things up shortly.
- 12' The deadlock is broken! Willian gets on the scoresheet on 12 minutes.
- 17' England international Reece James has been a key figure this campaign — 1 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
- 22' Tottenham Hotspur FC looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Mathys Tel scoring 1 goals.
- 27' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
- 31' Kurt Zouma was booked on 31.
- 36' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both Tottenham Hotspur FC and Chelsea FC are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
- 41' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 43' The referee has no hesitation. Mateo Kovacic is booked for Chelsea FC — Yellow card on 43.
- 45' Paulo Gazzaniga was booked on 45.
- 46' A tactical swap from Tottenham Hotspur FC — Christian Eriksen on, Eric Dier off on 46 minutes.
- 49' Willian has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 45 minutes.
- 54' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Son Heungmin suffering a number of foals already.
- 58' Moussa Sissoko has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 58.
- 62' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Red card for Son Heungmin.
- 67' The referee has no hesitation. Toby Alderweireld is booked for Tottenham Hotspur FC — Yellow card on 67.
- 68' Jorginho is ready to make an impact after coming on for Mateo Kovacic at the 68 minute mark.
- 73' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 73 minutes.
- 74' Time for substitution for Tottenham Hotspur FC. Jan Vertonghen is replaced by Danny Rose.
- 78' Controversy at the stadium! Antonio Rudiger argues furiously but the Yellow card stands.
- 80' The whistle greets Tammy Abraham as he departs to be replaced by Michy Batshuayi.
- 85' Tottenham Hotspur FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 90' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Azpilicueta made 419 appearances and scored 12 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- The referee blows the final whistle. Sensational lose for Tottenham Hotspur FC.
