Imperial.
At 37, "El Monstro" has lost none of its class.
For 95 minutes, he made his science of placement speak to cut all passing trajectories.
In experience, he annihilated almost all of Tottenham's weak attempts.
Impassable in the air, he proved his sense of timing in the opposing area.
Three times, he rose above the fray to cut the trajectories (9th, 27th).
The third was the good one, to offer the goal of the break to his team (55th).
All in finesse, just touching a cross from Mount, but enough to deceive Lloris at his far post.
Recently extended until 2023, the former Parisian continues to impress with his regularity and consistency.
Chelsea wingers a headache for defenses
Hakim Ziyech and Callum Hudson-Odoi made the Tottenham defense dizzy this Sunday.
The first goal is a good illustration of this (47th).
The Englishman takes the best of Tanganga in the right lane and serves his teammate, to the left of the surface.
Ziyech transplants in the axis, to return on his left foot.
He wraps a sublime strike, which comes to clean the skylight of Lloris, helpless.
Mason Mount also had a great game, always free in dangerous spaces.
He is the decisive passer on the goal of Silva (55th) and could have been twice more without the failures of Lukaku (1st, 32nd).
With in addition to this triplet, a very supplied bench - Werner, Pulisic and Havertz today - the "Blues" have something to scare all the defenses of Europe.
FLOPS
Lukaku missed again
But where is the Lukaku of Inter, essential in the conquest of the Scudetto?
With his polemical statements, we almost forget the sad reality on the ground.
The Belgian has so far found the net only 5 times in the Premier League.
Even today, he is far from having shone.
Useless in the game, even if he is often sent to the pipe breaker by his teammates, the striker has also missed serious opportunities.
At the very beginning of the match first, by hitting above (1st).
Then on a new cross from Mount, simply missing the ball when he was alone in the area (32nd).
A new match to forget for the one bought 113 million euros this summer by Chelsea.
Tanganga took on water
The left side of Tottenham was overwhelmed throughout the meeting.
He started his meeting very badly by being dominated in the air by Hudson-Odoi in his own area (3rd).
Constantly overtaken by the English winger, he concedes a yellow card quickly (37th).
Two minutes later, he made the same mistake, this time not penalized by Mr. Tierney (39th).
Several times at the limit, he was overtaken too easily on the opener (47th).
He was replaced shortly before the hour mark, as much for tactical reasons as to prevent him from taking more trouble (56th).
