Tottenham Hotspur had the chance to secure Premier League survival with a draw against Chelsea.
Roberto De Zerbi's side started the game in a positive way and looked to get forward and create some early openings. Mathys Tel hit the post with a header early on and it was a promising start.
However, the momentum soon shifted and Chelsea started to look the better team.
Enzo Fernandez put the home side ahead after 18 minutes when he curled a shot in from outside the box. It was a good finish but he was in plenty of space in the middle of the pitch.
At 1-0, Spurs were very much still in the game as they only needed the one goal.
Then, in the 67th minute the task became a lot harder. Andrey Santos made it 2-0 after Randal Kolo Muani conceded possession with a misplaced pass in midfield. Micky van de Ven was visibly frustrated with the manner of the goal.
It looked to be game over at that point. De Zerbi reacted and James Maddison came off the bench.
Richarlison gave them hope with 16 minutes left when he scored to make it 2-1 and set up a potentially nervous finish.
The visitors also felt as though they were denied a late penalty after Marc Cucurella was tussling with van de Ven and ended up dragging down the Spurs player at a corner, but nothing was given.
Spurs tried to create late chances but it ended in a 2-1 defeat.
Here are four takeaways from the match
It was another decent performance overall
Whilst not being an amazing performance, it was not a bad display from Spurs.
Like against Leeds United last week, they played well enough and looked like a much-improved side from the one that was taking to the pitch under Igor Tudor.
They knew what they had to do to survive and were boosted by West Ham's defeat at the weekend.
A fast start showed that they were capable of causing their hosts problems and playing on the front foot.
Then, after the positive start, they lost their way and did not recover until they scored their goal.
In the end it could have gone either way.
However, in the last week of the season, Spurs will not be able to take too many positives from a good performance because it was not good enough in the sense that they lost the match.
Defeat to Chelsea will not be the reason they are relegated, if that is to be the case on Sunday, but it will feel frustrating as it was another missed opportunity.
It could have all been over
If Spurs had won the game or come away with a point, due to their superior goal difference, they would have been guaranteed to stay up.
Therefore, it is a missed opportunity.
Chelsea are never easy opponents but they were not in good form and their season was drifting away from them.
There will now be a nervy final day of the season for Spurs and West Ham.
Had Spurs scored the first goal of the game or been able to level the scores at 1-1 then they may likely have got what they needed from this game.
The first goal, particularly after a bright start, could have been judged as a key moment. Spurs did not let their heads drop as they only needed to score one goal at that point.
However, it was likely that the second goal was the killer goal and did lead to some heads to drop.
Richarlison steps up again
At times this season, due to injuries and poor form, Spurs have struggled for goals.
It was the Brazilian Richarlison who stepped up for his side again and scored at Stamford Bridge.
He has not always hit the heights of some of his early years at former club Everton but he has delivered for his side this year.
He has played the most games in a single season for Spurs this season, since he joined the north London side in 2022. This has also resulted in one of his best seasons in front of goal for Spurs.
At a time where Spurs need players who can step up, play the physical aspects of the game and demonstrate their experience Richarlison is doing that.
He has the experience of surviving a relegation battle from his time at Everton and this weekend there will be a hope that he can net the goal against his former employers that would help keep his current side in the league.
What does it mean for the table?
Spurs remain two points in front of the Hammers. They know that if they avoid defeat against Everton then they will stay up.
It is in their hands and they do still have the advantage.
That said, Spurs have still only won two games at home all season, against Burnley and Brentford, so it will not be easy against David Moyes' team.
West Ham would have feared that their fate could have been sealed last night if Spurs had got a result. Therefore, Nuno Espirito Santo's side have now been given a lifeline and a chance to survive.
They host Leeds United at the London Stadium and the team from West Yorkshire are in great form. Whereas, West Ham have lost their last three games.
It does, however, remain all to play for on the last day and there could be some twists and turns throughout the ninety minutes in the capital at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and across town in Stratford.
