Thomas Tuchel scored his second victory in the third game with Chelsea.

The new club of the German coach prevailed 1-0 (1-0) in the London derby of the Premier League on Thursday evening against local rivals Tottenham Hotspur.

The winning goal for Chelsea was scored by Brazilian-born midfielder Jorginho in the 24th minute with a penalty kick.

Previously, the German international Timo Werner was fouled in the penalty area by Spurs defender Eric Dier.

»We are super happy with the result.

It was a tough game against strong opponents, but we did it very well and controlled the game well, "said Tuchel:" It's a nice group and they're open.

It is a pleasure to be with them.

It was a quick start, but an easy one because I feel very welcome. "

In pouring rain in north London, the two teams fought a not very nice game.

Chelsea - with Werner and Antonio Rüdiger in the starting XI - were the better team and had more possession, but good chances were rare.

In the final phase, the hosts also had opportunities to equalize.

Tuchel is still unbeaten after three games with his new club.

On the other hand, Tottenham coach José Mourino is in a crisis with Spurs.

The 0: 1 against the city neighbors was the third Premier League defeat in a row.

In the table, the Blues are now sixth with three points ahead of eighth Tottenham, who, however, have played one game less.

“In the first half we were defeated by Chelsea,” said Mourinho after the game: “But the reality is that a penalty decided the first half and later the match.

We were much better in the second half. "
