In an exciting Premier League London derby this Thursday, Chelsea, who made a remarkable comeback last weekend, will face Tottenham Hotspur, who narrowly missed out on a similar feat.
Mauricio Pochettino, preparing for another match against his former team, saw his players stage a great comeback against Aston Villa. However, Tottenham Hotspur suffered a tough 3-2 loss to Arsenal in the North London derby due to a poor first half performance.
Chelsea seemed doomed at half-time in their match at Villa Park, trailing by two goals due to an own goal and an impressive strike from Aston Villa. Despite their past wastefulness, Chelsea managed a rare comeback, scoring two goals to level the match, with pandemonium erupting briefly when they almost netted a winner. However, a controversial VAR decision disallowed the goal, leaving Chelsea frustrated.
Although disappointed with the result, Chelsea sits comfortably in ninth place, still in the European contention mix despite a three-game winless streak. Their recent strong performances at Stamford Bridge, winning five out of the last six matches and scoring multiple goals in each, bode well for their future.
