Blues without Joao Pedro for huge London derby at Stamford Bridge
Dreamland: Tottenham beat Chelsea at Stamford Bridge for only the second time since 1990

Chelsea and Tottenham were locked at 0-0 at half-time of their London derby showdown on Saturday evening. One of the Premier League’s fiercest rivalries had yet to ignite at a wet and windy Stamford Bridge, with Spurs certainly having the best of the opening 45 minutes at a ground where they have struggled woefully over the last three decades. Omar Marmoush wasted their best chance with a close-range effort that was fired straight at Mike Penders.
Chelsea initially looked out of sorts after back-to-backs wins under Xabi Alonso, who is without Joao Pedro due to an injury sustained in training on Friday. Summer signing Geovany Quenda was a shock selection to make his first Premier League start in attack, while Penders did likewise in goal amid the absence of usual first-choice No1 Emi Martinez. Both sides will hope to kick on after the break in an attempt to claim bragging rights as the rain begins to ease.

Chelsea 0-2 Tottenham
It’s all over - what a performance and result for Spurs, who claim the rarest of away wins at Stamford Bridge. Only their second since 1990.
A superb second half from Roberto De Zerbi’s men, who now have back-to-back victories to finally get their Premier League campaign up and running in style.
They are up to 12th in the table, having been bottom last week. It’s their highest league position since New Year’s Day.
A real off night for Chelsea against their fierce rivals and a first home defeat under Xabi Alonso.
They lost their heads at the end and Cole Palmer will be a big miss after his dismissal, with Joao Pedro also injured.
They stay fourth ahead of Liverpool for now, but could well be leapfrogged tomorrow.
