Tottenham Hotspur entertained Chelsea at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium earlier tonight as they looked to pick up a positive result in front of their home supporters. Spurs made a poor start to the game and conceded the opening goal in the 18th minute when Antonio Rudiger scored with a solid header. The North London outfit failed to come up with a response and were trailing 1-0 at half-time.
It was a similar story in the second half as Antonio Conte’s men crashed to a 1-0 defeat at home (3-0 on aggregate) which knocked them out of the Carabao Cup.
Let’s take a look at how each Tottenham player performed during the match against the Blues.
GK: Pierluigi Gollini – 6.5/10
He made a couple of saves during the game and was tidy with his passing.
RB: Emerson Royal – 6.5/10
The Spurs right-back was a threat going forward and did his fair share of defending inside his half.
CB: Davinson Sanchez – 7/10
Sanchez made a lot of crucial clearances at the back and made one key chance going forward.
CB: Japhet Tanganga – 6.5/10
Tanganga didn’t shy away from putting his foot through the ball when required and managed to engineer one good chance in the opposition half.

Sessegnon kept things solid at the back.
