Tottenham set a record during their 1-0 defeat to Chelsea, and it is one that will make Thomas Frank squirm.

Spurs have been extremely poor at home this season, having now managed just four points from 15 on offer in the Premier League.

Reece James started in midfield once again for Chelsea in their 1-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday.

While the 25-year-old is a full-back by trade, Enzo Maresca has used him in the middle of the park on multiple occasions.

Tottenham Hotspur failed to win at home for the fourth successive game in a row in the Premier League after they fell 1-0 to London rivals Chelsea on Saturday – and former boss Tim Sherwood believes he knows why their home form is so poor.

Joao Pedro struck in the 34th minute to help Chelsea inflict more pain on toothless Spurs with a fifth consecutive victory over their London rivals and a 10th win in 12 meetings in all competitions.

Enzo Maresca has explained his decision to play "fantastic" Chelsea defender Reece James in midfield in the 1-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday.

This is not the first time that Maresca has deployed a defender in midfield.
