Chelsea have gone fourth in the Premier League table after running out 1-0 winners over Tottenham Hotspur on Thursday night.
The Blues ground out a narrow victory over a Spurs side that hasn’t won in the Premier League since 22 February and remains 14th in the table.
Enzo Fernandez’s goal proved the difference between Chelsea and Tottenham, the Argentina international heading home from Cole Palmer’s cross on 50 minutes.
Both teams also had a goal each disallowed, but the Blues held on in the end in a game that could have easily been a goal-fest on another day.
Guglielmo Vicario single-handedly stopped Chelsea from routing Spurs and plenty of Blues fans were talking about the Italian during the game.

A number of Chelsea fans made the same point about Vicario, admitting that he played well and pulled off some great saves.
One Chelsea fan wrote on X: “Vicario playing like prime Neuer today I’m tired.”
Another Blues supporter said: “Tottenham without Vicario would be in the relegation zone.”
The praise for Vicario kept coming, with one fan saying: “Vicario turns into prime Neuer anytime Cole shoots.”
Another fan praised the Tottenham goalkeeper for his “fantastic” save against Sancho, while another deemed it “insane”.
One supporter even suggested he would be keen on Vicario at Chelsea, but for his injury record.
Another fan said: “Chelsea would have been leading by 3 or 4 goals by now if Vicario was not in goal for Spurs.”
How Guglielmo Vicario fared for Tottenham against Chelsea
Vicario looked shaky early on in the game, but just before the break, he pulled off a superb save from Sancho.
The Manchester United loanee had a go with an effort that deflected off Djed Spence, but Vicario showed great reflexes to push the ball over the top.
