Tottenham Hotspur 0-2 Chelsea: Hits and Flops | Premier League 2019-20

#4 Flop: Heung-min Son

Tottenham Hotspur v Chelsea FC - Premier League

Heung-min Son struggled to get involved in the game during the first half as Tottenham were not able to push the ball forward. Son, Dele Alli and Harry Kane were starved of any good opportunity to impact the game which left them frustrated.

Son let the frustration get the better of him in the second half as he tried to kick out at Antonio Rudiger in the 62nd minute after a tackle from the German. The referee initially awarded a free-kick to Tottenham, however, his decision was overturned by VAR and Son was shown a red card for his reaction.

This was a huge set back for the hosts as they tried to get back into the game. Tottenham had started the second half brightly and looked likely to score. But the red card made it next to impossible for them to get back into the game. The South Korean international has become a very important player for Tottenham but he lost his composure on Sunday and let his side down.

#3 Hit: Marcus Alonso

Marcus Alonso

Marcus Alonso made his comeback to the Chelsea side today after Emerson was ruled out of the game. The Spaniard has struggled for form this season but he was back playing at his favored position at left wing-back today.

Tottenham's right-back Serge Aurier struggled to cope with Alonso's movement throughout the game. Alonso provided the width for Chelsea and helped stretch the hosts' defense. He was also instrumental in defending the lead when Tottenham attacked at the start of the second half.

The Spaniard was getting into dangerous positions all the time. It was his run into the box that won Chelsea the penalty. The Chelsea faithful will be glad to see him back in form as they approach the busy festive period.
