The match was going so dramatically. It's always like that. It comes as no surprise that the match between Chelsea and Tottenham is always highly anticipated and guarantees an entertaining display of football. I remember that when tuchel was also confronting conte in the field. It will be so dumb if chelsea would not able to win against 9 men.
The chance for totenham to do counter attack is very small. The Tottenham team's tactic involved utilizing Son as the lone striker, while the other players maintained their positions in the midfield. Wrongly attacking chelsea will be in result getting counter attack back from chelsea.
It's a dilemma whether the club needs to attack or defend in this match.
This is why i do like to watch the match between totenham vs chelsea. The game is always very attractive and there were lots of drama on this game.

You are right and I have seen games that could still be won by a team that was one man down, but I can't remember that I saw a team on that level that was two men down and still won the game. And I mean as you said counter attacks were of course impossible for Tottenham and since this is one of their strongest tactics, it was quite over for them when the second player was sent off. The result in the end was quite high for Chelsea and it could have ended with a goal less than that, but still the win was quite safe for them.

I was very disappointed with the performance of Tottenham's players against Chelsea. Because I was not at all prepared to see such a poor performance from Tottenham at home. Tottenham were in great form. So we had high expectations from Tottenham in this match as well. But Chelsea's players dominated this match. Chelsea had 63% ball possession as well as attacking a lot. And perhaps this is why Tottenham's performance was quite poor. While Chelsea's players made a total of 17 shots, Tottenham's players made only 8. Let's hope we don't see such a poor performance from Tottenham against Wolves. Players need to be more confident.

For me, I just thought Chelsea were more desperate in need of a win that's why they actually played and over powered Tottenham in that game and moreover there was the influence of red card in the match too. Chelsea winning that game will really boost the confidence of the players and for Tottenham they just have to come out from the nightmare because it was indeed a nightmare for them seeing them struggle to actually play the ball against a Chelsea side that have not been too well themselves.

This is the first defeat of the season for Tottenham, so I think this game will not affect their morale and their game in general, everyone has misfires and it is unrealistically difficult to go the whole season without defeats. Chelsea in turn outdid themselves, it was a willful victory, but whether it will continue is far from certain. Now they have two tough matches ahead of them and if they win or draw, then we can say that Chelsea are on the mend. Although I still don't believe that they can get back to their previous level
