Rottenham just got Enzoned

Enzo Maresca's and Enzo Fernandes' Blues complete comeback against Tottenham Hotspurs in their own turf after going down 2-0 in 11 minutes

The game of the season, even better than last season's 4-4 draw against City at home made me break my 1.5 year article drought. I'm here now, with the coverage of one of Chelsea's most historic wins, comebacks and performances. 

It was a rainy night at London's Tottenham Hotspurs Stadium as Chelsea were about to take on "The robin hood of premier league" that thrashed city and at the same time, gave points to Ipswich. That's just classic Rottenham Shitspurs. Enzo Maresca's Blues came with one motive. Leave with 3 points. 

Fun fact

3-Point Lane

Tottenham's old stadium, White Hart Lane is dubbed to be the three point lane by old blues, because whatever happens, the most unusual of things might be transpiring across the world but one thing was for sure, Chelsea always got the three point against Tottenham in their stadium. Frank Lampard's Favourite place to unleash all this hatred for this banter of a club. They might have built a world class new stadium now, with a new name even (without 'lane' in it, which is so lame for a stadium ;-;). yet, Their home stadium is still being dubbed 3-point Lane by the beloved blues.

The game started as usual, with Chelsea confident and peaceful in a certain "hostile" environment singing "THE SPURS GO MARCHING IN". Fofana was missing in the back 3. Badiashile took his place and his passes were shaky, understandably so. He hadn't played with Levi Colwill for a long time.

When the blues were passing around the back, the ball reached Cucurella's foot and everyone's heart skipped as he slipped and completely left the ball to be taken by their speedster on the wing. A simple cross to Solanke who brilliantly finished past Robert Sanchez to make it 1-0 for Tottenham. Oh, what a start it was for spurs. The blues were unsettled now, they had no clue what had just happened. Euro's winner Marc Cucurella had just slipped and gifted them a goal. Oh the home fans were loving it. 

Nicolas Jackson had the chance to start an attack once or twice and before you know it, Tottenham were back again on the counter but seriously they were wasteful in the box. But suddenly it happened again. Cucurella was sniped again. He slipped again. AGAIN.  And this time, Dejan Kulusevski was pacey enough to utilise the opportunity as he finds a gap to shoot and he took his shot. As tame as the shot might have seemed, it was enough to pass cockroach of a goalkeeper Robert Sanchez (whose height didnt help, when he timed his dive so bad) and just like that Tottenham had the 2 goal cushion and it was just 11 mins on the clock.

No way we are coming back from 2 goals down

                                                    ~ famous words by myself, 11' mins into the game.

Cucurella immediately understands the issue and he ran to the sidelines and threw his cleats away. With frustrated gestures as he was changing his boots, his mindset was clear, and so were everyone else's. Other than the two slips, Spurs had nothing in the game. Just have to create a few chances and they'd be back in it in no time. 

Jadon Sancho, just scored his first goal against Southampton in our 5-1 win at home, was carrying the ball slowly towards  the goal. Hopelessly glaring at him, Cucurella was driving the defenders away brilliantly and Sancho took his well placed and paced shot and it finds the post and went right in, past Fraser Forster. "2-1, Chelsea back in it" . The commentators thought it was an end to end game. It was. But not because of Spurs' creativity, because of the mistakes by Robert Sanchez who by no means was serious. Enzo Maresca called him at a point and told him to take no risks at this point. Motive was clear, We are here for the 3 points.

The Tottenham fans' behaviour near their end was disgraceful to say the least. The image shown in the side doesnt even show the whole picture, it was worse. Everytime the ball got close to them, they started throwing water bottles (one for everytime they bottled it ig), trashbags (emptying their trophy cabinet on that one) and some other waste products (Probably symbolic of their players). Little did they realise they were throwing it on themselves as well in the process as it distracted a whole lot of their players, fell on their own fans in between stuck in the crossfire and what not. In conclusion, Tottenham Fans lack some brain cells, just like their player Romero who got away with pulling Cucurella's hair 2 seasons ago. A bunch of savages. Luckily, Romero was subbed off early on because of an injury concern so the primitive behaviours were limited.

On top of it, the match was being refereed by Anthony Taylor, The baldy who is so inconsistent with his decisions, if you are Chelsea, a 5-0 lead won't be enough for you. 3 trophies stolen. We'd never forget.

First half ended 2-1 with all this drama, Caicedo got a yellow (like I said, Baldy at it), just after Palmer missed a tap in as he got in his foot wrong. He was kinda out of sorts at this point. But he still was threatening, creating chances, taking shots and always testing Forster who was putting on quite the performance to keep Chelsea at bay.

Then the Second half started, Maresca knew the back 3 wouldn't cut it so he brought in Gusto for Lavia, shifting to back 4, letting Caicedo play his original role and woah did anyone see it coming. Caicedo runs aggressively for the ball from Cucurella and gets slide tackled and that's a pen. No assistant needed for that. Palmer was taking the penalty. He had a 10/10 record. Right behind the topper, Yaya Toure with a 11/11 record. He took it as calm as he is, and went left. Forster not good enough for this one, went the wrong way and booom 11/11. He had just equalled Toure's record. Chelsea 2-2 Tottenham. The game was on just like that, more like Tottenham were feeling the frost bite at home. 

Another attack had Cole Palmer dribbing past their left-back, absolutely leaving him traumatised and he took a shot. The shot got deflected and landed right on Enzo Fernandes' feet who was approaching the goal to take his first time shot. And booom. 2-0 to 3-2 By threee different goal scorers and Chelsea were back on top. The home crowd goes silent. The away fans knew this was coming and they were going crazy. I went crazy and screamed like a monkey (who's the savage now xd).

It wasn't over. Cole Palmer was dribbling in the box and attracted another foul. Another Pen. Palmer was on his way to break the Penalty record. And he did it his way. The cold way. Noticing the goal keeper committing to a dive, he chipped it (He chippy chipped it). Guy's a genius. For real. A paneka to break the record. 12/12. History was made. 4-2 Chelsea lead. 

Son got a goal back at 90+5' but the game was over by then. 4-3. Enzo Maresca was over the moon. What a comeback. Cucurella laughed it off. He turned a nightmare start against the wind and won it for the team. This is Chelsea Football Club. This is what it was all about, taking all 3 points and solidifying the 2nd position in the table. But yes, not in the title race. As we all know

3 points and chippy chips. We move 

Easily the best game I have seen since starting this blog. Had to come back here and document it. What a match. We were locked in so much, we had to ask for them to make it difficult for us by slipping twice. This mentality is what was not there with Pochettino and Graham Potter, this is exactly what Chelsea needs. Mourinho and Roman Abramovich would be proud. Still a long way to go but no doubt, we are in good hands. Can trust Maresca, like we trusted Tuchel. He knows what he is doing.
