(Chelsea 0-0 Tottenham) Timo Werner’s disallowed goal in the first half was the closest the teams came to a goal in a match of tame highs.
Chelsea were the leading team throughout the match, but the Blues never managed to create great pressure on the North London guests.
In a very poor match, they fell to 0-0, which means that Tottenham, which is the team that has conceded the fewest goals this season, maintains the lead in the Premier League, with better goal difference than Liverpool.
– I’m glad we kept zero. The players did very well and did everything I asked them to do based on how we started, Chelsea manager Frank Lampard tells Sky Sports after the match.

After 13 of 30 points for Chelsea and 9 of 30 points for Tottenham in matches between the six major Premier League teams last season, both teams had a clear point of improvement for the 2020/2021 season if they wanted to play. in the battle for the league title.
Tottenham have also clearly improved from last season, with six out of a possible six points this season after impressive wins against Manchester United and Manchester City, while Chelsea are holding on to just one point out of a possible six.
Frank Lampard’s men had a chance to improve on that statistic and take control of Tottenham’s table when the two teams met at Stamford Bridge on Sunday night. The two London teams were in first and third place before the 10th round of the Premier League, and after Liverpool’s draw against Brighton on Saturday, the winning team would be guaranteed the league lead.
Chelsea have had a good grip on their neighboring rivals lately, with wins in the last three Premier League matches between the teams. It is true that Tottenham was the last to emerge victorious when they advanced to the Carabao Cup after a penalty shoot-out two months ago.
After that, Chelsea have run out of ten games in all tournaments without a loss before tonight’s game, where the series was extended to eleven games.

Chelsea also started Sunday’s game better and already after ten minutes of play, Timo Werner thought he had sent the home team in the lead. The German received the ball within 16 meters and sent the ball very well over Tottenham goalkeeper Hugo Lloris and into the goal from inside the post.
However, the assistant referee quickly got up with the flag and the replays correctly showed that the German was one meter from the wrong side.
Big chances were wasted in the game, where a long shot from Mason Mount after 80 minutes of play became the most dangerous thing to happen during the second half. However, Hugo Lloris made a spectacular stop.
Thus, he ended the distribution of points in London.
