Marc Cucurella slipped twice as Spurs snatched a two-goal lead with just over ten minutes of play. Solanke and Kulusevski's goals put Tottenham in front, but Sancho got one back for the Blues.

Chelsea conceded twice in less than fifteen minutes in the London derby against Tottenham, with Marc Cucurella stealing the headlines on both occasions.

Five minutes into the game, the Spaniard reminded the audience of Steven Gerrard as he slipped in defence to give away possession to Spurs' Johnson, who then charged forward, serving teammate Solanke with a low cross in the box. The striker made no mistake as he stretched to push the ball past Sanchez.

Six minutes later, Dejan Kulusevski capitalised on a second slip from Cucurella, who ran to charge his boots as soon as the Swedish winger scored Spurs' second.

Thankfully for the defender, Jadon Sancho halved the deficit in the 17th minute, bringing his side right back into the game. The Man United showed great individual play to cut inside and strike the ball in the far corner from range.
