JOãO PEDRO’S STRIKE PROVES ENOUGH AS CHELSEA SURVIVE LATE SPURS PRESSURE
João Pedro's first-half goal, set up by Moisés Caicedo, gave Chelsea a 1-0 win over Tottenham. Spurs recorded their lowest expected goals (xG) in over a decade, offering little threat at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Enzo Maresca's team defeated Tottenham Hotspur 1-0 on Saturday, with João Pedro scoring the game's first goal since August to give Chelsea all three points.
At Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Moisés Caicedo's outstanding play in the 34th minute to win the ball twice before setting up his colleague was all the Blues needed to defeat a Spurs team that did not seem particularly motivated in the last third.
During the entire game, Thomas Frank's team managed just three shots and one on goal, which is the fewest they have had this season.
Spurs' xG total of 0.05 in their 504th Premier League game at that time was their lowest on record (since 2012–13).
With a win or draw, Tottenham might have moved up to second position, but instead they are now in third place, behind leaders Arsenal and Bournemouth, while Chelsea moves up to fourth place and is tied with Spurs (17).
Early on, Xavi Simons replaced Lucas Bergvall, who had been forced after sustaining a knock to the head, dealing a setback to the home team.
Early in the game, however, there was not much movement in front of the goal; neither team's first non-blocked attempt came until Reece James struck a long, long shot in the 19th minute.
When Pedro Porro threw the ball away immediately after the break, João Pedro should have given Chelsea the lead, but Guglielmo Vicario stopped the Brazilian, and a few seconds later, Mohammed Kudus sent Spurs' first attempt over the bar from the edge of the Chelsea box.
However, a few minutes later, Caicedo did well to regain the ball from Micky van de Ven for Chelsea on the outskirts of the Tottenham penalty area, then locate his colleague for a straightforward finish, ensuring João Pedro would not be denied.
It was not the first careless blunder the hosts had made this season; in the Premier League in 2025–26, only Wolves (4) have committed more mistakes that resulted in goals for the opposition than Tottenham (3).
When João Pedro was on the receiving end of a cross from Malo Gusto, he had another chance, but Vicario tipped his first-time attempt over the bar.
Spurs had the first attempt on goal in the first half, but Kudus forced a save from Robert Sánchez in stoppage time but The home team was behind at halftime. That was not encouraging because Tottenham have lost 13 of their previous 15 Premier League games while behind at halftime (D2).
However, anything was possible because Chelsea, along with Brentford, has lost more Premier League points than any other team this season (eight).
João Pedro took Kevin Danso out of his own box as Chelsea pressed Spurs high in the second half, but Pedro Neto's subsequent shot went directly at Vicario.
In the 74th minute, James sent a shot over the crossbar after Neto was again denied.
Frank's team nearly paid for it when the visitors countered, but Jamie Gittens blasted over after João Pedro set him up for a spectacular chance. The boos came from the stands as the hosts hesitated to hit a deep free-kick into Chelsea's half in stoppage time.
The fact that Chelsea managed to secure the victory, however, will worry Spurs the most because there was never much chance that this match would end in anything other than an away victory.
ENZO MARESCA LAVISHES PRAISE ON REECE JAMES FOLLOWING STELLAR MIDFIELD SHOWING
Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca praised captain Reece James after his dominant midfield display in the 1-0 derby win over Tottenham. James provided crucial physicality alongside Moises Caicedo.

After playing a crucial part in our derby triumph away at Tottenham Hotspur, Chelsea captain Reece James was showered with praise from Enzo Maresca.
Throughout Maresca's tenure as Blues head coach, our captain has switched between his established position at right-back and a new midfield one. On Saturday, he played in the latter at Tottenham.
With yet another outstanding display, Moises Caicedo stole the show and set up Joao Pedro to score the game's lone goal after winning possession. But perhaps even more crucial to the win was his midfield partner for the day.
Our head coach noted that James' presence there was considered vital since Caicedo and James controlled the centre of the field, even though Spurs tried to crowd out the midfield by giving them a numerical advantage there with their team selection.
It somewhat relies on the strategy. Maresca said, "I believe we needed a little bit more physicality in the centre yesterday."
It was anticipated that they would play alongside [Pape Mater] Sarr, [Rodrigo] Bentancur, and [Joao] Palhinha. They had four midfielders, which surprised us because [Lucas] Bergvall also played.
"There should have been a little more physicality in the middle, but it really relies on the strategy."
James did not appear out of place in our midfield once more. Maresca is now in the fortunate position of knowing that he can count on his captain to give his best effort as a midfielder, defender, and—possibly most importantly—a leader.
Enzo continued, "I think Reece is doing wonderful when he is playing as a midfielder, he is doing fantastic when he is playing full-back, and as far as leadership with the players inside the changing room goes."
REAL MADRID STAR ÁLVARO CARRERAS CELEBRATES EMOTIONAL FIRST CAREER GOAL
Real Madrid crushes Valencia 4-0 with Álvaro Carreras scoring a stunning first goal for the club. The victory extends their La Liga lead to seven points under manager Xabi Alonso.

Real Madrid easily defeated Valencia in another La Liga victory under Xabi Alonso. Kylian Mbappe scored two goals in the league leaders' 4-0 victory at the Santiago Bernabeu.
The third and fourth goals were the two best of the match. Jude Bellingham started the first half with a strong drive from the area's boundary. But the Englishman's goal was overtaken by left-back Álvaro Carreras, who hit a fantastic shot from a sharp angle into the top corner.
After joining the team this past summer from Benfica, it was the Spaniard's first goal. Carreras discussed the strike after the game, suggesting it might be the first of many to come.
Proud of His First Goal in a Real Madrid Shirt, Álvaro Carreras
The 22-year-old has been playing at his peak lately and was one of four players that Xabi Alonso brought in this summer. Although ecstatic about his goal, Carreras never felt pressured to score since he knew that his main responsibilities were elsewhere.
It concluded Real Madrid's outstanding performance, in which they dominated a weak Valencia team from beginning to end. With a victory over Elche, rivals Barcelona may reduce their lead to five points. The victory increased their lead at the top to seven points over Villarreal and eight over Barcelona.
Carreras would have been pleased with another clean sheet for himself and his Los Blancos defence, so the goal was a bonus. They now lead the league with five in 11 games. At the end of the season, he and his defenders will be evaluated based on that.
This defence will be put to the test once more when they play Liverpool at Anfield in the Champions League. Even though the Premier League winners are not playing at their best, Carreras and his players will have to contend with the intense atmosphere on the pitch.
