34 h. ago Fernández lifts Chelsea into top four as Tottenham fans turn on Postecoglou

It was a typically incident-filled meeting between these sworn enemies but, really, there was only one place to start. Ange Postecoglou, the remorselessly under-fire Tottenham manager, had been barracked by his own club’s supporters when he replaced Lucas Bergvall with Pape Sarr in the 64th minute.Bergvall had enjoyed a few bright moments. “You don’t know what you’re doing,” the travelling hordes informed Postecoglou. And so just imagine how the fiercely proud Australian must have felt shortly afterwards when Sarr won the ball off Moisés Caicedo and unloaded a low shot that the Chelsea goalkeeper, Robert Sánchez, inexplicably allowed to beat him.

2 w. ago Merino strike proves the difference as strikerless Arsenal sink Chelsea

Mikel Arteta had promised that Arsenal would not give up on their title dream easily and, although they remain 12 points behind the champions-elect Liverpool after one of the most comfortable 1-0 victories you will see, there remains hope in north London.Mikel Merino’s first-half goal - his first since 15 February in the league and Arsenal’s 11th of the season from a corner but first since New Year’s Day – proved enough to see off a toothless Chelsea side who looked badly short of inspiration without their talisman Cole Palmer to secure a first win in four league matches.

3 w. ago Cucurella gives Chelsea narrow win over Leicester after Palmer spot

Some Chelsea fans remain standoffish with Enzo Maresca, even after seeing their side creep back into top four with 10 matches to go. The sense remains that the Stamford Bridge regulars will take some convincing on the merits of the careful, possession-heavy nature of Marescaball. Shifting opinions will require more than this edgy 1-0 win over Leicester.This was hardly emphatic against opponents who look certain to return to the Championship after losing 12 of their past 13 games. Chelsea were pallid and disjointed in attack for long spells – Cole Palmer, who remains in a creative funk, saw his barren run extend to nine matches without a goal after spurning an early penalty – and there were moments when the crowd’s patience with Maresca sounded stretched.

3 w. ago Maresca warns fans over ‘PlayStation’ expectations after Cucurella calms noise

Some Chelsea supporters remain standoffish with Enzo Maresca, even after seeing their side creep back into top four. The sense remains that Stamford Bridge regulars will take some convincing on the merits of the careful, possession-heavy nature of Marescaball. It is not exactly setting pulses racing at the moment and it was telling that the mood was far from harmonious during this win against Leicester City.Maresca seemed to be letting out a lot of frustration when he reacted to Marc Cucurella breaking the deadlock after an hour of stodginess by gesturing angrily for fans to make more noise. The grumbling about his team’s backwards and sideways ­passing had struck a nerve. Then again Maresca could hardly ­complain if there was dissatis­faction about Chelsea ­labouring against ­opponents who look certain to return to the Championship after losing 12 of their past 13 games.
