Chelsea v Tottenham boosts Nuno Espírito Santo: ex-Benfica shines (Video) | OneFootball

Chelsea beat Tottenham 2-1 this Tuesday at Stamford Bridge, keeping Nuno Espírito Santo’s hopes alive in the fight to stay in the Premier League. The blues’ win prevented Spurs from securing survival and leaves everything wide open heading into the final round of the English league.

Chelsea were inspired by Enzo Fernández, the former Benfica midfielder, who opened the scoring in the 18th minute with a long-range strike that gave the opposing goalkeeper no chance.

In the second half, Pedro Neto also made his mark on the match. The Portugal international produced an excellent move down the right in the 67th minute and set up Enzo Fernández, who then fed Andrey Santos for the blues’ second goal. Tottenham did respond through Richarlison in the 74th minute, but could not avoid defeat.

With this result, Spurs remain only two points above the relegation zone, keeping alive the hopes of West Ham, managed by Nuno Espírito Santo. The Hammers lost to Newcastle, but remain mathematically alive in the battle for survival ahead of the final Premier League round.

On Chelsea’s side, the win brought an end to a negative run of results. .
