Chelsea FC takes down Tottenham Hotspur FC 0-1 at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium in the premier league match played on Thursday.
On a night when Thomas Tuchel tactically outmanoeuvred Tottenham manager Jose Mourinho, it was Mason Mount who took on the key tactical role to unlock Chelsea’s London rivals.
Ahead of kick-off, the Blues looked like they were going to line up in a 3-4-3 system but on once out the pitch, they dropped Mount into a No.10 role with Timo Werner and Callum Hudson-Odoi paired as two strikers.
Jorginho’s first-half penalty in the 24th minute saw Chelsea deservedly beat Tottenham 1-0 as Thomas Tuchel won his first game on the road in charge of the Blues.
