Chelsea ended nine-man Tottenham's unbeaten start to the Premier League season as Nicolas Jackson's hat-trick inspired a 4-1 win in a chaotic clash filled with VAR drama on Monday.
Blues boss Mauricio Pochettino was able to savour a sweet victory over Tottenham on his first return to the club since his sacking in 2019.
Both teams had goals disallowed by VAR, while Tottenham's misfortune also included losing England playmaker James Maddison and Dutch defender Micky van de Ven to first-half injuries. "If you look at all that standing around we did today, maybe people enjoy that sort of thing but I'd rather see us playing football."
Sterling and Tottenham's Son Heung-min both had goals disallowed by VAR for handball and offside respectively.
