I'm not surprised to watch the Blues defeats Tottenham Hotspur and breaking their unbeaten run in EPL this season. Chelsea are in possession with alot if potentials, one of which is picking incredible form against elite teams this season. Mauricio Pochettino is incharge and have been the core figure responsible to lifts the team's performance and standards in league positions.
Mind you that Chelsea are in tenth position and they have only 15 points from 11 games which is a poor return for a club like Chelsea, they have also won only 4 games in ths EPL this season. Spurs would never have lost that game, but they went two men down and had to play for over 40 minutes with just 9 players, they also had a couple of injuries to important players. I don't think Chelsea are resurgent, neither are they improving, and if their fans think they are flying right now, they'd be brought back to earth when they face City this Sunday.
I don't think Chelsea has recovered from their downturn after winning over Tottenham, the match summary notes that Tottenham had to play with 9 players after two of their players received red cards. Chelsea's first goal came from a foul by Christian Romero which made the match 1-1. Chelsea increasingly had the upper hand after the referee issued a second red card to a Tottenham player, they were able to control the match more easily after Tottenham were two players short.
This victory is at least a motivation for Chelsea players when facing Manchester City, but Chelsea's performance is still unstable, meaning they will experience difficulties when facing Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea is always up and down. The identity of the club doesn't even matter when faced with this particular club, and the inconsistent performance from Chelsea has made it extremely difficult to predict the outcome for this club.
I don't wanna try to overhype this club after it was able beating totenham but let's see the fact that if chelsea was also losing previously against a middle tier club like brentford. So, the result against totenham can't really be argued as a proof if chelsea has been back again to its best performance. Chelsea had the good fortune of not being subjected to serious fouls, thanks to the inability of certain Tottenham players to restrain themselves.
It gives opportunity for chelsea to play even better caused by it was facing a club which is playing with 9 players. Jackson was also lucky enough cuased by he was able making hatrick against 9 players.
