#2 Flop: Serge Aurier

Serge Aurier had a terrible day against Chelsea. The Ivorian struggled to cope with the threat of Alonso and Willian. He was drawn out of position multiple times as Chelsea looked to target him in the first half.

Aurier conceded the corner through which Chelsea scored the first goal. The right-back was under no pressure when he headed the ball for a corner. He was then slow to close down Willian as the Blues took the corner quickly.

He was given the freedom to move higher up the pitch in the second half by Mourinho as Tottenham looked for a goal. But his crosses into the box were not good enough. He failed to find any Tottenham player inside the box with his crosses. He has been criticised for his performances this season and it will not be a surprise if Mourinho tries to find a replacement in the winter transfer window.

#1 Hit: Willian

Willian was back to his brilliant best against Tottenham. The Brazilian scored the first goal of the game after a brilliant piece of skill to beat Aurier. Then he converted the penalty to double Chelsea's lead at the end of the first half.

The winger was a constant threat to the Tottenham defence. His pass over the top of the hosts' defence to Alonso won the Blues a penalty which he ended up converting. His overall performance was very impressive as well. His work-rate, defensive contribution and carrying the ball forward from deep were all on display.

Willian should have had an assist as well when he played Kante through on goal with an amazing pass. Lampard would be glad to see such a performance from one of the most experienced players in this young Chelsea side. The Brazilian was Man of the Match today and Chelsea fans will hope for more such performances this season.
