Mike Penders: Assured was the word for the 21-year-old goalkeeper on his first start in place of the injured Emiliano Martinez. That was until a cross came in and he calamitously punched a corner into his own net, before letting in Tel’s strike at his near post. 4<\/p>\n
Josh Acheampong: Having started seven of Chelsea<\/a>‘s 10 games in all competitions this season, Acheampong is emerging as a reliable member of the backline. Defended well and seldom looked troubled. 6<\/p>\n Maxence Lacroix: The France international made several important interventions during spells when Chelsea<\/a> were under pressure. 6<\/p>\n Levi Colwill: Colwill looked at his physical best as part of an increasingly settled backline. 6<\/p>\n Pedro Neto: Arguably Chelsea<\/a>‘s standout performer. Excellent defensively, winning the ball back high up the pitch on several occasions, while also posing a threat going forward. Saw a well-struck effort saved in the second half. 7<\/p>\n Moises Caicedo: Like Neto, one of Chelsea<\/a>‘s best performers. Constantly won possession and disrupted Tottenham<\/a>‘s rhythm, particularly through his battles with James Maddison before the midfielder was forced off. 8<\/p>\n Jordan Henderson: Should perhaps have made more of Chelsea<\/a>‘s best first-half chance in the 36th minute, but otherwise carried out his responsibilities effectively in midfield. 6<\/p>\n Jorrel Hato: A quiet evening in which he appeared more focused on containing Mohammed Kudus than supporting attacks. Taken off in the 65th minute. 5<\/p>\n Cole Palmer: Contributed well defensively and in Chelsea<\/a>‘s press. Tested Kinsky with a curling effort and was involved in several promising moves, but could not provide a decisive moment. Palmer was sent off for a late tackle on Gallagher, having been booked for causing a flashpoint by pushing over Fernandes, in nine minutes of ill-discipline. 4<\/p>\n
