- Edouard Mendy did not save a single penalty but we can hardly find fault with him for the 90 minutes before it: he cut a much more powerful figure in the Chelsea box and generally produced a very fine debut performance.
- Kurt Zouma and Fikayo Tomori were reunited as the centre-back partnership; they were part of the team that won 7 games in a row last year and tonight, they looked convincing as well - which doesn't bode well for Rudiger and Christensen.
- Ben Chilwell is not yet fit to play 90 minutes and it turned out to be a huge problem: his replacement, Emerson, lost Erik Lamela who scored the equaliser.
- N'Golo Kante might not be in the best shape, but he's still the best midfielder at Chelsea which was proven by his 20-minute cameo. He rushed back and forth, relieving the defence from Spurs' pressure, something Jorginho and Kovacic couldn't do.
- A tough day for Mason Mount and Callum Hudson-Odoi. The youngsters, who saved the day at West Bromwich, had real opportunities to create chances for Werner and Abraham to double the lead.
- Besides, Mount ended the game with a penalty miss which makes the next few days the most difficult for him as a Chelsea player.
- On a bright side, Timo Werner finally found the net in an official game for Chelsea, although questions remain whether he should stay on the left or move to the No 9 role.
