Chelsea 2-1 Tottenham LIVE – Blues win tense affair

“I think we play a final, we play an important game but in our stadium and we have two results out of three, so we have to stay alive but any way, it is a big day for us.”

Chelsea hang on. Just. What a nervy last 15 minutes. The Blues were probably good value for the win on balance.

Tottenham’s quest for safety will go to the final day.

Maddison skies over from a free kick in a promising position.

Seven more minutes for Tottenham.

Essugo, Garnacho and Mheuka on for Palmer, Delap and Neto.

Delap booked for an elbow into Spence. He was clean through if he had not committed a foul.

Cucurella drags Van de Ven down from a corner and Tottenham want a penalty, but nothing doing.

Richarlison and Maddison play a lovely one-two before Maddison shoots, but Hato is there to block, and what a vital block.

Sarr on for Fofana.

My word, how football can change.

They looked out of it, but now Tottenham are well on top and looking for a second.

A scuffle in the box leads to Sarr backheeling the ball into the six-yard box and Richarlison is there to finish.

Great improvisation from Sarr!

Tottenham had been poor at 1-0 down but 2-0 probably signals game over barring a great comeback.

Andrey Santos scores for Chelsea!

Tottenham give the ball away and Chelsea work it up the pitch. Neto crosses from the right into Fernandez in the box who calmly sets up Santos who has a tap in.

The game has become scrappy. Tottenham are getting desperate and committing an increasing number of fouls.

Tottenham have been poor but the fans have not yet given up. They are making a lot of noise.

Richarlison misses an absolute sitter after a plum cross from Tel. It was offside though.

Chelsea get the second half underway.

Chelsea ahead and deservedly so. Tottenham haven’t offered a lot and De Zerbi will need to change something at half-time.

Palmer drags a shot wide from a good position at the edge of the box. Should have done better.

Since going behind, Tottenham have offered very little. De Zerbi will want to get them in for half-time.

A lovely take and feint in the box separates Tel from Acheampong, but his shot is poor, and well over.

Fernandez shoots from the resulting free kick and hits the bar.

Porro booked for a cynical challenge on Cucurella.

Delap is played in by Palmer in the box after a good cross from Cucurella, but he skies it high and wide.
