MATT BARLOW AT STAMFORD BRIDGE:
Tottenham supporters travel to
Stamford Bridge not only fearing the worst but expecting it. With one win in the last 36 years there is no reason for anything else‚ but this trip across
London delivered more agony than usual. They lost again. Of course they did. Goals by
Enzo Fernandez and
Andrey Santos put
Chelsea two up before
Richarlison pulled one back in the 73rd minute and sparked a desperate search for a late equaliser in a chaotic finish. Chances slipped away‚ as did an optimistic penalty appeal for a foul before a corner by
Marc Cucurella ‚ and Jorrell Hato produced a terrific recovery block to deny substitute
James Maddison. There was no escape for
Spurs. At least not until Sunday. This defeat keeps
Roberto De Zerbi 's team mired in a relegation hell until the very last day of the campaign.
