Tottenham Hotspur's Champions League Hopes in Peril After Chelsea Loss

Tottenham Hotspur lost once again to Chelsea away at Stamford Bridge putting the Lilywhites' Champions League qualification bid in serious doubt.

Tottenham had won just one of its 31 trips to Stamford Bridge in the Premier League coming into the evening. The first half of the game was hectic and nervy, as you'd expect for a London derby and the outstanding storylines between the two. Nicolas Jackson had a golden opportunity to open the scoring early, but Mickey van de Ven made a goal-line clearance that nearly deflected off Cole Palmer into the net.

It was a 24th-minute header from Trevoh Chalobah that put the Blues in front.
