Antonio Rudiger aims clear Tottenham jibe ahead of Chelsea clash with hilarious message

Former Chelsea defender Antonio Rudiger has sent a reminder to Tottenham of the stranglehold that his previous side have held over them in recent meetings as the two sides go head-to-head on Monday night. The German has won 10 of his 13 games against Spurs in his career, nearly double the amount of victories he has over any other team.

After signing for Antonio Conte during his time at Stamford Bridge in the summer of 2017 he only came out on the losing side of matches between Chelsea and Spurs three times with seven wins in nine league games. The 30-year-old also used to take great pleasure in scoring against Tottenham as he helped knock them out of the 2021/22 Carabao Cup as well as getting in on the act in his last trip to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Since he left last summer things have slightly flipped though with Spurs finishing above Chelsea despite having a poor season themselves. It was under Conte in February that Tottenham managed their first league win over the Blues at their new ground, all but sealing the fate of Graham Potter in the process of a 2-0 victory, and it was without Rudiger that the teams also drew 2-2 on the second weekend of last year too.

Now it is Ange Postecoglou's men that play host on this occasion with Mauricio Pochettino in charge for Chelsea. Rudiger was actually part of the side that Pochettino beat 3-1 at SW6 in 2018 against Maurizio Sarri but largely got the better of the London rivals during his five year stay in England.

He has now ensured that the memory of one of the standout performances in recent games is well remembered after sharing a post including the 3-0 demolition in 2021. Rudiger took to Instagram to show off a post by 4-3-3 that highlights some of the big scoring
