That is all we have time for on Tribe as Chelsea secure the points in another classic London derby with Tottenham. I have been Elliot Thompson, and thank you for joining me. Tune in with us on Tribe tomorrow as West Ham face Wolves in a key game for both managers under high pressure.
That was the biggest game of Chelsea's season, and they passed it with flying colours due to a dominant second-half performance. Due to that, they are now four points behind Liverpool and two ahead of Arsenal. Next up for Chelsea is a Conference League game against Astana, but in the Premier League, it is a home match against Brentford. For Spurs, they remain in the bottom half of the table. They have Rangers next in the Europa League before Southampton in the Premier League next weekend.
It is just all going wrong for Tottenham and Ange Postecoglou at the moment. It looked set for a positive day when Solanke fired them ahead after a cross from Johnson. Six minutes later, Kuluesvski fired a shot beyond Sanchez on his left foot. They were two up and flying, yet once they were pegged back, all confidence disappeared. As well as that, they lost Romero in the first half and then Van de Ven in the second, there seemed to be little hope. Bissouma and Sarr gave away two of the stupidest penalties you'll ever see with needless challenges. Son scored in the dying seconds, but it was too little too late as the home fans booed them off again. Postecoglou will be under pressure now as this way of playing is clearly not sustainable.
CHELSEA MOVE WITHIN FOUR POINTS OF LEADERS LIVERPOOL! What about that for 90 minutes of entertainment? This fixture never really disappoints, and it certainly didn't today. Tottenham stormed into a two-goal lead in the opening 11 minutes, but Chelsea came back to take all three points at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium once again. Jadon Sancho fired them back in it with a fantastic strike into the bottom right corner. They looked nervous in the first half. However, Enzo Maresca made some tactical changes. He took Lavia off for Gusto and moved Cucurella into the midfield. It worked wonders as Caicedo won a penalty on the hour mark. Palmer fired past Forster, sending him the wrong way. Palmer inadvertently set up the goal for Fernandez as his cross deflected to him. Fernandez fired past Forster with a left-footed volley. Palmer then had another penalty, which he chipped down the middle with style. So it was a fantastic day for Chelsea!

After a Werner cross, which goes behind, Sanchez takes far too long with the goal kick, So the referee shows him a yellow card for timewasting.

TOTTENHAM ARE ONE AWAY WITH ONE MINUTE TO GO! The corner is played short to Bergvall. He gives it back to Maddison, who dribbles along the byline, just about keeping it in play. In the box, Maddison pulls it back to Son, who side-foots in from around eight yards out.

SHOT! Caicedo fouls Son on the edge of the box. Porro takes the free kick, which he hits into the wall. It comes back to Porro, who volleys just wide of the left post. It took a deflection, so it will be a corner.
