Tottenham Hotspur suffered yet another defeat at the hands of Chelsea, losing 1-0 in a Premier League clash held at their own stadium. The only goal of the match came from Joao Pedro in the first half, as the visitors solidified their dominance over their London rivals with a fifth consecutive victory. Tottenham, who had the chance to climb to second place in the standings, delivered an extremely poor performance, recording the lowest expected goals (0.05xG) in Premier League history since Opta began collecting data in the 2012/13 season.

The home side failed to create any real goal-scoring opportunities and did not manage a single shot on target in the second half, leading to boos from their fans. This marked their twelfth defeat in their last nineteen home matches. Commentator Jamie Redknapp described it as one of the worst performances from Tottenham he has ever witnessed.

Chelsea, who moved into the top four in the standings, could have scored more, but Joao Pedro and Jamie Gittens missed excellent chances towards the end of the match. Nevertheless, Enzo Maresca's team confidently defended their lead to secure a fourth consecutive away victory across all competitions.

Analysis: Tottenham's performance was disappointing, with a lack of creativity in attack posing a significant issue that needs addressing. Chelsea, on the other hand, displayed solid play and deservedly climbed up the standings.
