Tottenham Hotspur turned the heat on Graham Potter after ousting his limp Chelsea side 2-0 in a fiercely-contested London derby.
Oliver Skipp's scorching strike 30 seconds into the second half and a neat effort from Harry Kane fired Spurs to victory and gave them a four-point cushion in fourth place. The hosts continued their good home form under the stewardship of first-team coach Cristian Stellini to boost their Champions League ambitions, as Antonio Conte recovers from an operation to remove his gallbladder.
Chelsea themselves look in need of surgery, with Potter now on a bleak run of three successive losses. The under-fire boss has seen his men score just one goal in their last six games and win just one of their 11 matches in 2023. The Blues could still count themselves fortunate to have 11 players on the pitch, tough, as Hakim Ziyech saw his first-half red card for a shove on Emerson Royal overturned after a puzzling call referee Stuart Attwell.
