Tottenham Hotspur entertained Chelsea at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium earlier this evening as they hoped to secure a good result in the London derby. Spurs made a poor start to the game as they conceded the opener in the 34th minute thanks to Joao Pedro’s strike. Thomas Frank’s men were trailing 1-0 at the half-time break.
Tottenham failed to come up with a response in the second half and crashed to a tough 1-0 loss in front of their home fans.
