Chelsea vs Tottenham LIVE: Premier League score and goal updates as Nicolas Jackson hits post – UK Times

24 mins: Neto whips in an inviting left-footed delivery towards the back post with Palmer and Jackson, but it’s just too high for the Chelsea duo.

19 mins: CHANCE! How did that not go in?

Cole Palmer gets into the box and instead of letting fly, he opts to play it across to Enzo Fernandez. If the Argentinian gets to this, it’s a tap in.

Destiny Udogie tumbles in to intervene a couple yards out from the goal-line – and with a rolling towards the Tottenham net, Vicario is grateful to smother the loose ball.

15 mins: Solanke has a glance at the ref as he tries to meet Bentancur’s cross before hitting the deck, feeling he had been impeded by Chalobah.

Nothing in that, even if it got an appeal from the away end.

13 mins: Vicario nearly makes a mess of a Chelsea corner but his defenders get him out of jail.

Nice work from Sancho to force the corner initially.

7 mins: Malo Gusto fires a shot from the right against the side-netting – half the crowd think it’s gone in, but alas.

4 mins: Tottenham go up the other end and win a corner, nothing comes from it.

Now Caicedo is down injured after a collision with Spence. A moment to breathe after a frantic start.

1 min: OFF THE POST! Nearly a nightmare start for Spurs!

A 50-yard straight pass completes splits Tottenham’s centre-backs, allowing Jackson in on goal.

He half gets control of it before Van de Ven tries to tackle and ricochets the ball against Jackson’s shin, which then flies off the post!

Sheer chaos to get things started!

1 min: KICK-OFF! We’re underway at the Bridge.

Just 10 minutes until we get underway at Stamford Bridge.

There may be eight places and 15 points between the two teams, but there’s always an air of hostility when Chelsea and Tottenham lock horns.

It’s a game of serious significance to the former, who will all the points they can get in the fiercely competitive race for Champions League football.

Stay tuned for play-by-play updates from the Bridge.

Bad news for Chelsea and Tottenham’s common enemy…

The Gunners confirmed the Brazil defender will require surgery on the hamstring injury he sustained in his side’s 2-1 Premier League against Fulham on Tuesday.

Gabriel, who has starred at the heart of Arsenal’s defence in recent seasons, went down in the 16th minute with the injury and was unable to continue.
