Chelsea delivered a hammer blow to Tottenham's hopes of qualifying for the Champions League with a 2-0 win against their spluttering London rivals on Thursday.
Tottenham Hotspur’s Dutch defender #37 Micky van de Ven clears the ball under pressure from Chelsea’s English midfielder #20 Cole Palmer during the English Premier League football match between Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur at Stamford Bridge in London on May 2, 2024.
After losses to Arsenal and Newcastle, fifth-placed Tottenham’s third successive defeat leaves them seven points behind fourth-placed Aston Villa. Pochettino had irritated Chelsea fans by admitting he couldn’t “hide his emotions” for the club he managed for five years and led to the 2019 Champions League final.
Jackson sprinted into the Tottenham area for a shot that went under Guglielmo Vicario but lacked the power to beat Mickey van de Ven’s clearance off the line, with Cole Palmer somehow scooping the loose ball over from close-range.
