Chelsea found themselves trailing 2-0 early in the match against Tottenham Hotspur, with Marc Cucurella making two costly slips at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, both leading to goals for Ange Postecoglou’s side. Despite the early setback, Chelsea mounted a stunning comeback, with Jadon Sancho scoring a brilliant goal in the first half, followed by a brace from Cole Palmer and a strike from Enzo Fernandez, securing a 4-3 victory for Enzo Maresca’s side.
With Arsenal and Manchester City struggling for consistency, Chelsea have climbed into second place in the Premier League, trailing Liverpool by just four points, though the Reds have a game in hand. Despite this promising position, Maresca remains cautious and reluctant to discuss the possibility of a title challenge. Instead, he took a lighthearted jab at Cucurella’s mishap.
In his press conference, Maresca remarked: “Arsenal, City, and Liverpool probably don’t slip… like Marc Cucurella did!”
He added, “To be serious, we are not ready yet, we’re far from those teams. We’re focused on improving day by day.”
Chelsea has been performing excellently in the Europa Conference League and will face Kazakhstan’s Astana on Thursday, December 12.
