X reacts as Chelsea strengthen European hopes with derby win over Tottenham
Chelsea claimed the bragging rights as west met north in Thursday night’s London derby against Tottenham Hotspur at Stamford Bridge.
Mauricio Pochettino’s side claimed a first win since thrashing Everton almost three weeks ago and reignites their hopes of creeping into the top seven and returning to Europe next season.
For Spurs, this was a third successive defeat and makes it increasingly likely they will be playing Europa League football rather than Champions League football in 2024/25, with a seven-point gap to fourth place Aston Villa not realistic to close with so few games left.
This fixture always has the potential to get spicy. Remember handshake?
Chelsea v Tottenham tonight.
It spins my head that this happened just last season, it feels like a different decade.
