Speaking after the game, the Italian bemoaned the display which suggested there is little harmony in the squad.

Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca has heaped praise on his captain Reece James after the England star's performance against rivals Tottenham Hotspur.

The Blues saw off Thomas Frank's Spurs 1-0, courtesy of a Joao Pedro winner in the first half.

Joao Pedro promised to take Chelsea midfielder Moises Caicedo out for dinner after starring for the Blues in their 1-0 win over Spurs on Saturday.

The win helped the Blues climb up to the fifth position on the league table.

Premier League rivals Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur are all set to go head-to-head in the transfer market to secure a move for FC Porto's star striker Samu Aghehowa.

Thomas Frank attempted to assuage concerns over Tottenham defenders Micky van de Ven and Djed Spence by saying their decision to snub him after the dire derby defeat against Chelsea was only a “small issue”.

Chelsea climbed back into the Premier League's top four with a deserved 1-0 win away at Tottenham on Saturday.

Chelsea defender Wesley Fofana has been spared jail time despite being caught on camera driving dangerously in his Lamborghini. This was the French defender's ninth driving offence, and he is already serving a driving ban until May 2027.

Tottenham boss Thomas Frank has pleaded with supporters to roar the team on when they face Chelsea on Saturday.

Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca has downplayed concerns surrounding his side’s defensive weakness from set-pieces ahead of Sunday’s London derby against Tottenham Hotspur.

Former Chelsea and Liverpool striker Fabio Borini has revealed he wanted to sue former club Sampdoria as they did not feed him during a lean patch in his career. Borini's revelations come just weeks after his surprise return to English football with Salford City, who are owned by members from Manchester United's 'Class of '92'. Back on English shores, the Italian will be looking to rebuild his career and rediscover his love for the game after what he describes as one of the darkest periods of his life.

Lazio forward Pedro has announced that he will leave the club as a free agent at the end of the season. The former Barcelona and Chelsea star expressed his desire to help Lazio return to European competitions, aiming to finish his time at the club on a high.

With the title race having already swung back and forth while the top-four and relegation battles are as open as they have been for a few years, the Premier League is becoming increasingly difficult to predict. Sure, the odd match still follows the formbook, but a number of teams are proving tough to pin down and figure out what to expect from them on a game-to-game basis.
