Tottenham 3-1 Chelsea: 3 reasons why Chelsea lost to Spurs

#2 Consistent pressing from Spurs

The home side made life difficult for Chelsea – on and off the ball!

Spurs were not only scintillating with the ball but also worked hard off it. One of the highlights of their impressive display on the day was the constant press they maintained higher up the pitch.

The pressure exerted by them hurried the visitors into making mistakes, as they struggled to complete their passes and get on with their attack.

Every Tottenham player on the pitch knew his role and executed the same with efficiency through the 90 minutes.

Moreover, the Blues' defenders couldn't maintain their structure after the swift start made by the hosts, failing to recover from the slow start they made in the game.
