Storm- News » Spurs pushed forward straight from the start

The First Half
Spurs pushed forward straight from the start, earning two corners within a minute, but they coudn’t make them count. Still, they managed to impose themselves on the game and get it under their control early. Two minutes later, Aurier found Kane with a good cross, but Kepa made an easy save of Kane’s header. Morata did well at the other end to get around his marker and at the end of a cross from Willian, but he failed to trouble Lloris.

But it was Spurs who still had control, and just over seven minutes in, Kane made Luiz commit a foul out wide on the right side. Eriksen whipped the ball in and Alli’s flicked header was enough to beat Kepa.

Son really should have at least doubled the score soon afterwards. Within the next five minutes, the Korean had three separate opportunities to do so, but it was Kane who eventually did.

Minute 16 was underway when the England striker took a sudden shot from some 25 yards. It wasn’t a great shot, but Kepa had his vision blocked, and his only reaction was to shake his head when he saw the ball hit the net.

Chelsea were all over the place at this point. They couldn’t get anything right, and though they did occasionally threaten with quick counterattacks, there was nothing they could do to stop their opponents from causing them problems time and again.
