Chelsea took mere seconds to troll London rivals Tottenham Hotspur after their Super Cup defeat to Paris Saint-Germain.

Spurs were 2-0 and cruising in Udine with five minutes to play, only to be pegged back for a penalty shoot-out with two late French goals.

They then had the lead in the shoot-out, but misses from goalscorer Micky van de Ven and Mathys Tel saw PSG claim their first ever UEFA Super Cup to add to their Champions League crown.

Nuno Mendes’ winning penalty came at 10.09pm UK time, and just seconds after Chelsea pressed send on the most brutal of social media posts.

The Blues sent out a message reading: “#OnThisDay exactly one month ago, Chelsea beat PSG in the Club World Cup final!”

Chelsea won the US tournament over PSG, with a commanding 3-0 win in the final, something rivals Spurs couldn’t manage despite looking well on course for an easy win.

Chelsea entered the summer tournament far from favourites after years without competing for the Premier League title.

On the other hand, PSG had just won club football's premier competition - the Champions League - with a record 5-0 win over Inter Milan in the final.

Chelsea shocked the French side with a dominant win, and for stages in Udine Spurs were well on course to do the same.

Micky van de Ven opened the scoring with a late first half goal, and PSG entered the dressing room without a shot on goal for just the fourth time under Luis Enrique.

New captain Cristian Romero made it two just three minutes into the second half and Spurs' dominance continued.

Thomas Frank's new side continued to hold their world class rivals at arm's length with relative ease in their first game under his management, but it all went awry in the final five minutes.

A long-range strike from an unlikely source got PSG into the match with Kang-In Lee the hero in the 85th minute and then it was another bench option who showed up.

A bullet header from Goncalo Ramos forced a shoot-out, where Spurs quickly took the lead.

Dominic Solanke and Rodrigo Bentancur scored either side of a Vitinha miss and the London side found themselves 2-0 up once more.

However misses from Van de Ven and the re-signed Tel allowed PSG to fire in their next four, claiming the trophy and allowing Chelsea to fire out a Hall of Fame social media post.

Responding to his side's victory, PSG's star manager Luis Enrique thanked the fans after an extremely short turnaround after the Club World Cup and summer holidays.

"It's difficult to talk about this match… We trained for five or six days, it's incredible," he told Canal+.

"And all the fans who are there all the time, regardless of the result, they are there to support the team.

"For us it's very nice to have won this trophy and to be able to offer it to them."

He then praised their opponents, saying: "I think Tottenham played a very good match, they are stronger than us and are better prepared, it was a difficult situation.

"We had the ability to fight until the end of the match. I don't know if it's fair but that's football and we are happy for our fans.

"And we have to improve. I expect even more from my players, always."
