Chelsea vs Tottenham LIVE: Latest Premier League updates

Spurs coach Postecoglou criticized the VAR system after losing 3-2 in a derby match, stating that he no longer enjoys celebrating goals because of its involvement.

Tottenham's aspirations of making it to the Champions League were severely impacted due to their loss against Chelsea in a 2-0 Premier League match at Stamford Bridge.

Ange Postecoglou's team is behind Aston Villa, who are in fourth place, by seven points. They only have one game left to catch up. Mauricio Pochettino's team won against his old club through goals from Trevoh Chalobah and Nicolas Jackson, which improved their own chances of qualifying for Europe.

Spurs did not play to their usual smooth and fearless standards in this game. They struggled to create many opportunities that could seriously challenge the Chelsea defense, which had already established the club's worst defensive record in the league in over three decades.

Chelsea Beats Tottenham 2-0 In FT

Jamie Redknapp shared his thoughts on the midfield of Spurs, stating that at the beginning of the season they appeared to be a strong and effective engine room. He expressed that he believed their midfield was on par with some of the best in the Premier League.

At present, he has altered the situation recently and the players' performances are not at the same standard as they were during the beginning of the season. To be able to compete, it is imperative to show consistent performance every week.

Suffering Is Necessary, Says Pochettino

What a night it was for Pochettino, and he must be optimistic that his Chelsea squad is finally showing some promising signs despite the inevitable challenges ahead.

He talked to the BBC and mentioned that the initial half was amazing. After that, the goal was to limit and endure. Tottenham has skilled players, so there isn't much to elaborate on. He praised the players for their performance.

We are overjoyed and thrilled with the outcome. It brings us great joy to see our players succeed.

"We're in a favorable position, with a group of exceptional experts who handle set-pieces incredibly well. The team executed our desired style of play flawlessly."

This is going to be tough. I'm not feeling optimistic about our chances of reaching the Champions League after our recent game. Our performance was subpar and we need to bounce back for the match on Sunday.

During the initial stage, we did not make any effort to play. When we started the game, we did not take the opportunity to move forward and attack. In the second half, we attempted to play, but we lacked the assurance and self-belief needed to succeed in today's game.

It's important to review our performance in the last game and improve for the upcoming weekend.

Postecoglou Doubts Legitimacy Of Opponent's Goal

Chalobah scored the first point with a header, however, after a lengthy VAR examination, it was determined that Marc Cucurella did not commit a foul against Brennan Johnson during Postecoglou's objection.

The person from Australia expressed their belief that the objective of the opposing team was a violation, however, they acknowledged that their opinion wasn't of any significance and that their team didn't deserve a better outcome.

The goal we allowed wasn't the issue, it was our overall strategy that fell short. We simply aren't performing at the level we should be and we lack the necessary optimism to succeed. I take responsibility for this.

I didn't mention that I'm not interested. I simply stated that it is not my top concern at the moment. Nevertheless, I don't mind if others believe that our team needs improvement in set pieces. My main objective is to carry out my duties to the best of my ability.

Postecoglou: "We Lost Belief And Conviction."

Spurs had a disappointing day, and their poor performance is persisting at the worst possible time during the season.

According to Postecoglou's statement to Sky Sports, it is certain that the football team has lost some of its confidence and faith in their game, particularly in the midfield. He takes responsibility for this.

We didn't perform satisfactorily. Would you like me to provide you with a detailed report on the areas in which we fell short?

I need to take a moment to reflect on my actions and assess the extent of my influence in this situation.

"When our first half performance turns out to be poor, it is clear that my communication is not effective. Therefore, I must take responsibility and make necessary improvements to deliver my message more effectively."

Chelsea Beat Tottenham, Dent Top 4 Hopes With Chalobah & Jackson Goals

It was expected that this match between two teams with vastly different performances would be a fun watch, however, Ange Postecoglou's team faced the same issue they often do, which set them apart from their strong London opponents.

Chelsea and their coach, Mauricio Pochettino, secured a second victory over Pochettino's former team in the Premier League, thanks to two well-executed set-piece goals. Trevoh Chalobah took advantage of Tottenham's careless defending by elegantly heading the ball over Vicario's head while unmarked. Despite Tottenham's attempts to fight back in the second half, they found it challenging to make any significant impact on the game, often struggling to do anything once they had possession of the ball. Eventually, Jackson was able to react quickly and score the second goal of the game after Cole Palmer's free-kick hit the crossbar.

Chelsea won 2-0 against Tottenham at Stamford Bridge, which greatly improves their chances in Europe as they rise to eighth place. On the other hand, Tottenham has lost three consecutive games and is falling behind Aston Villa, who are in fourth place.
