Chelsea earned a crucial 1–0 win over Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday, November 1, extending their dominance at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. The Blues have now won nine of their last ten away meetings against Spurs, continuing a remarkable run in North London.
The decisive moment came midway through the first half as João Pedro netted the only goal of the match, lifting Chelsea level on points with Spurs in the Premier League standings, though behind on goal difference.
João Pedro Breaks Through With First-Half Finish
Chelsea looked sharper from kickoff, pressing high and pinning Spurs deep in their own half. The breakthrough arrived in the 34th minute, thanks to a moment of brilliance in midfield. After a powerful driving run through Tottenham’s defensive line by Moises Caicedo, the ball was worked into the box where João Pedro finished calmly, making it 1–0.
The goal rewarded Chelsea’s aggressive start and set the tone for the remainder of the match.
Chelsea Dominate the Chances
Throughout the game, Chelsea created multiple opportunities to extend their lead. Their attacking play generated several shots on target, repeatedly testing the Spurs goalkeeper. Despite the pressure, the Blues couldn’t find a second goal—but their control and intensity kept Tottenham struggling to gain footing.
Spurs Struggle Under Pressure
Tottenham, normally strong at home, appeared overwhelmed by Chelsea’s energy and organization. Spurs managed far fewer shots and rarely threatened the goal. Their attacking rhythm never clicked, and they found it difficult to break through Chelsea’s compact press and defensive structure.
Despite pushing late, Spurs could not find an equalizer, handing Chelsea all three points in this heated London derby.
