Hakim Ziyech has enjoyed a productive week:
vs Brighton
vs Tottenham
This is the first time in his career he’s scored a goal in consecutive Premier League appearances!
Pick that one out!
Hakim Ziyech scores his third league goal of the season to break the deadlock at Stamford Bridge as he finds the top corner to leave Hugo Lloris rooted to the spot
Thiago Silva is the first Chelsea defender to score home and away against Spurs in the same Premier League season.
O Monstro comes up HUGE.
All five of Thiago Silva’s Premier League goals have been scored in London:
vs Sheffield United (H)
vs West Ham (H)
vs Tottenham (A)
vs West Ham (A)
vs Tottenham (H)
Capital punishment.
20 - Mason Mount has registered his 20th assist for Chelsea since the start of the 2019-20 campaign, the most of any player at the club in this period across all competitions. Quality.
37y 123d - Thiago Silva (37y 123d) is the oldest player to score in the Premier League since February 2013, when 39-year-old Ryan Giggs netted against Queens Park Rangers for Manchester United. Golden.
It was more of the same in the second half, with the hosts now adding goals to their dominance – they scored twice inside the first 10 minutes to put this one to bed.
Chelsea are now just a point behind Liverpool, while Tottenham are now in 7th!
