Chelsea secured a 2-1 win against Tottenham Hotspur at the Stamford Bridge on Saturday, boosting their top-four credentials after picking up valuable three points at the expense of one of their challengers for the Champions League spot. Spurs were the second-best team all game and were lucky to have finished the game with 11 men. Giovanni Lo Celso stamped on Cesar Azpilicueta in the second-half but somehow escaped being sent off despite VAR reviewing the incident for serious foul play. Officials at VAR’s Stockley Park HQ admitted mid-game that a human error had been made and the Tottenham midfielder should have been sent off.
