#2 Awful defensive performance from Chelsea

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.

About the author

A sports enthusiast and an avid follower of football.

Since childhood I was encouraged to play cricket and in no time it became a hobby. Gradually I found interest in other sports also.

Football is in my blood and I love the electrifying ambiance that surrounds it. I often watch the pre and post match analysis of a match and try to learn how to analyze a football game.

The thing that intrigues me the most is that there are so many things happening behind the scenes that are oblivious to our naked eyes. The technological advancements that has been made are phenomenal.

I like analyzing a game from a statistical point of view. Being a data guy myself , I am firm believer of providing insights through facts and data. Though a game is always unpredictable , analyzing it from different dimensions can provide some very interesting conclusions.
