EPL PLAYERS RATINGS F/T: Chelsea 2 Tottenham 0 (1)

Hakim Ziyech and Thiago Silva sunk Spurs early in the second period as Chelsea moved a point off second-placed Liverpool.

Harry Kane had a goal ruled out for Tottenham at the end of a feisty first half.

Ziyech was outstanding for the Blues, whereas Spurs offered little direct threat after falling behind.


Chelsea ratings

THIAGO SILVA - 8

Headed a Mount corner over inside 10 minutes. Booked for a trip on Bergwijn 23 mins in as the Dutchman broke dangerously. Was tripped by Kane as the Englishman turned him in the build-up to Tottenham's disallowed first-half goal. Nodded in well to secure the win.

MALANG SARR - 8

Did not look out of place against Kane as the stand-in dealt with everything Tottenham threw at him with aplomb. On the end of a nasty high challenge from Matt Doherty which the Irishman somehow escaped a red card for classy showing.

KEPA - 7/10

Had to face one shot on target in the first-half - a tame Harry Winks effort from the edge of the box - before picking the ball out the net after Kane's disallowed equaliser.

Slightly busier after the break but mostly routine stuff. His best save was from Kane's header with five minutes to go in which he appeared to hurt his hand.

CESAR AZPILICUETA - 7

Captain's performance again. No frills, scrapping for his team on and off the ball.

Exactly what the Blues faithful love seeing from their Spanish star.

CALLUM HUDSON-ODOI (subbed, 87mins) - 8

Energetic throughout and had Japhet Tanganga on toast for most of the afternoon.

But his end product was often frustratingly lacking in the first-half.

Nodded a far-post header wide after Ziyech picked him out during the opening exchanges and should have at least hit the target.

Looked far more dangerous after the break as his decision making improved drastically.

Laid the ball off to Ziyech in the build-up to the Moroccan's delightful opener after an excellent run up the right where he left booked Tanganga for dust again.

Great reception as he left the pitch.

ANTONIO RUDIGER - 8

A classy act as ever. Composed and a rock at the back as he stood up to Spurs' rare attacks through Bergwijn and Kane.


JORGINHO (subbed, 72mins) - 6

Nothing spectacular. One of those professional performances where no one really notices him.

Earned his money and replaced by Kante as Thomas Tuchel looked to lock in the three points at 2-0 up.

MATEO KOVACIC - 6

Similar to Jorginho, nothing outstanding but did everything expected of him.

Perhaps hard for him to shine as he played instead of N'Golo Kante but Tuchel will be more than happy with the Croatian's contribution.

Matt Doherty somehow escaped a red card for a horror challenge

Tottenham's Matt Doherty somehow escaped a red card for a horror challenge on Chelsea ace Malang Sarr in the first-half at Stamford Bridge.

The Irishman went in extremely late on the centre-back, dragging his studs down the inside of his shin and Blues fans online were fuming.

It was just before the 20 minute mark when Sarr broke forward by the half-way line with Doherty in pursuit.

The Frenchman looked to have plenty of time as he laid a simple pass off, but how wrong he was.

As Sarr played the ball, Doherty lunged with his left and his studs scraped down the inside of the 23-year-old's leg - leaving him writhing on the ground in agony.

Medical staff rushed on as the match announcer confirmed a VAR check was taking place.

But the Stockley Park officials, led by VAR Darren England, decided the challenge did not warrant a red.

Paul Tierney had also NOT booked the former Wolves man so the game, and Sarr after lengthy treatment, carried on.

But Blues fans were not happy on social media.

'Ankle-breaker' and 'disgusting' were just some of the words used by shocked supporters.
