VAR Decision: No Goal.
VAR Review: A close call, but Son was slightly ahead of the last defender.
18th Minute: Udogie’s Possible Red Card
London – The ratings of the players from Tottenham and Chelsea showcased a wild London derby, as they clashed beneath the lights on Monday.
While Spurs took an early lead this season through Dejan Kulusevski, things took an unexpected turn when Christian Romero and Destiny Udogie both saw red, leaving them with only nine players, and forcing James Maddison and Miki van de Ven to be substituted in the same game. True chaos.
On his emotional return to Tottenham, Mauricio Pochettino’s Chelsea came out victorious with Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg netting the opening penalty kick and Nicholas Jackson sealing the win with two late goals. They had created plenty of chances throughout the match, but several goals were disallowed due to VAR and offside calls.

Below are the ratings and analysis for Tottenham and Chelsea players with a scale of 1 to 10.
Tottenham Players’ Ratings:
– Guillermo Vizcarrondo: 10 – Deserved victory, the heroics saved them, and he was a sweeper for most of the second half. Unbelievable.
– Pedro Porro: 7 – Had a tough first half, but came back strong in the second, making excellent defensive runs. Also delivered some outstanding crosses.
– Christian Romero: 3 – Should have been sent off twice. Escaped a tackle on Kulusevski in the first half and was lucky to get away with it. Sent off for a headbutt over Fernandes.
– Miki van de Ven: 6 – Juggled things but returned to chase his target and saw that his hamstring was bothering him. A scary moment for the young Dutch defender.
– Destiny Udogie: 3 – Like Romero, was too eager and should have been sent after a quick tackle on Sterling. Then picked up a second yellow during the second half.
– Japhet Tanganga: 8 – Faced huge challenges, but he created a beauty that was excluded for offside.
– Papé Matar Sarr: 7 – Had to be taken off, as he had worked hard. Impressive driving run from midfield.
– Dejan Kulusevski: 8 – Scored the early goal and held the ball well as he, Son, and Madison were active from the start.
– James Maddison: 6 – After delivering some great passes in the beginning, he faded and walked away with a knock following a collision and a red card decision.
– Brennan Johnson: 6 – Made some excellent runs in the beginning and crossed to set up Son to score, but the later offside call led to his substitution.
– Son Heung-min: 7 – Had a great chance to equalize and make it 2-2 in the 94th minute, but his effort was slightly deflected and Chelsea secured the win.
Substituted Players:
– Eric Dier (for Johnson, 34′): 8 – Presented major challenges and created a beauty that was excluded for offside.
– Emerson Royal (for Maddison, 45+1′): 8 – Did everything he could at center-back and left after a while. Great spirit.
– Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg (for Van de Ven, 45+1′): 8 – Exceptional in midfield and then as a center-back. A warrior. Removed from the line.
– Rodrigo Bentancur (for Sarr, 61′): 6 – Could have equalized with a header from a few yards away but missed badly.
– Oliver Skipp (for Kulusevski, 61′): 7 – Helped Spurs push forward late in the game.
Chelsea Players’ Ratings:
– Robert Sanchez: 6 – Didn’t look very comfortable on the ball and had little to pass to Son, who saved him in the 94th minute.
– Reece James: 5 – Received a tough time from Johnson in the beginning, and didn’t have much impact in the attack. Subbed off.

– Levi Colwill: 5 – Caught by Romero and was in the middle of all the scuffles in the first half. Got sent off at halftime due to a yellow card.
– Enzo Fernandez: 7 – Helped control the pace of the game for Chelsea and delivered a solid performance after the loss to Romero.
– Moises Caicedo: 8 – Played his type of game, was heavy in midfield, and delivered a beautiful strike, which was disallowed for offside against Jackson.
