#2 Awful defensive performance from Chelsea

Luiz was poor today.

The London derby is always a prestigious occasion to perform at your very best. However, Maurizio Sarri's side seemed to have forgotten that, with the Blues showcasing one of the worst performances of the season so far.

It all started from an Eriksen's cross leading to Alli's goal. Since then it became absolute Spurs dominance. Tottenham was repeatedly making inroads into the Chelsea penalty area with ease, causing spaces to open up between the midfield and the defense for the Blues. For Tottenham's second goal, David Luiz moved aside from a Harry Kane shot, leaving Kepa no chance at all.

The Brazilian was at fault again in the second half, where he didn't do enough to stop Song from taking a shot inside the box. The evening could have been more embarrassing for Chelsea if Kane and Alli converted a couple of glorious chances in the second half.
