I also didn't think Tottenham would lose against the Blues, judging by the current performance of the Blues who are ranked lower than Tottenham made me surprised by the results of the match, maybe because of the Blues' confident performance so they could beat Tottenham.

Romero's absence will probably provide difficulties for Tottenham themselves, but the manager will certainly do his best for the next match despite the absence of their players. Although Tottenham lost at home to the Blues they still received praise from two Sky Sports pundits, with this defeat Tottenham failed to return to the top of the standings, the result against the Blues was also the Spurs' first defeat in the English league this season. Spurs themselves had won first thanks to Dejan Kulusevski's goal, Spurs also had to play with nine players after Romero and Destiny Udogie received red cards during the match. Chelsea managed to reverse the score in the 75th minute before sealing victory in injury time.

Really, I'm not surprised, because I predicted it beforehand. It's just that, I think Poche will rotate some of his players, especially their center forward. because, previously I have referred to many references that Chelsea will make changes. but in fact, Poche still plays Nicolas Jackson as the main starter. As the match progressed, Spurs took the lead in the 8th minute and I already suspected that this would happen.
as I said, Chelsea has the potential to provide resistance and even win the match if Poche is willing to innovate and experiment by rotating some of his players. especially, for the goalscoring players they have. but luck said otherwise, even though what I predicted was correct. However, the actual course of the match did not match expectations. Chelsea was able to win this match, because two Sprus players were given red cards. plus, unmitigated, two Spurs players were withdrawn due to injury. Ange took Maddison out, Van de Van, because he was allegedly having injury problems. Chelsea's victory over Spurs was due to nothing other than great luck.

On the Spurs side, this defeat was very detrimental to them. apart from 2 players being injured. the other two had to be absent due to red cards. Now, Spurs are in 2nd place. and it seems that Ange Postecoglou has to be prepared for a decline in his team's performance in the next few matches. Let's see, can Spurs come back or vice versa.

Yes even though Spurs are ranked above it turns out that the Blues found their luck, of course what the Blues are experiencing is great luck as you said. They can beat the team that is ranked above even though the Blues are ranked below. This is really a big luck that is very favorable for the Blues.

Injuries and absences are a big loss for the Spurs at the moment and will be homework for Ange, because with injuries to their players and absences due to red cards of course this is not a good thing, this is not a small problem, with the absence of some of their players who cannot participate in the next match due to two injuries and two red card absences will make it difficult for the Spurs in the future and as you said it looks like they will experience a decline in performance because even though there are reserves who can replace it, it will not necessarily be better than the players who are absent and injured, but surely Ange will do his best for the next game so that the game can still be maximized and can stay in its ranking position even to pursue the first rank which is certainly desired by all football teams.
