Big Ange tried to downplay his team’s vulnerability to dead-ball deliveries with a quote from Billy Joel. But after conceding their 15th goal from set pieces, it’s becoming increasingly hard to deny the problem. Tottenham’s recent performances have dashed their fans’ hopes, as they struggle to maintain optimism.

Meanwhile, Chelsea’s victory propels them back into contention for European football next season. The match saw little impact from Tottenham’s reshuffle, with Chelsea dominating early on and ultimately securing the win. Despite attempts to dispute the goal, Chalobah’s header stood, marking another set-piece failure for Spurs.

The match concluded with a comfortable win for Chelsea, allowing for late debuts for young players.
