Chelsea's defensive problems were once again evident in their 2-0 defeat to Tottenham on Sunday. Spurs took the lead through Harry Kane in the first half, and Heung-min Son added a second after the break. Chelsea had chances to get back into the game, but they were unable to find a way past Tottenham's resolute defence.
A tale of two casualty lists
The match between Chelsea and Tottenham was also notable for the number of injuries sustained by both teams. Chelsea lost Reece James, Wesley Fofana and Ben Chilwell to injury, while Tottenham lost Richarlison and Yves Bissouma.
These injuries will further deplete Chelsea's and Tottenham's squads, and it will be interesting to see how both teams cope with the loss of key players in the coming weeks.
