PAUL MERSON BRUTALLY MOCKS TOTTENHAM OVERNIGHT AFTER CHELSEA’S DEFEAT

Paul Merson has mocked Tottenham Hotspur on Twitter after Mauricio Pochettino’s Chelsea recorded a 4-1 win against their London rivals on Monday night

In one of the crazy nights of English football, Ange Postecoglou’s Tottenham ended up with nine men, there were goals disallowed left right and centre, including Nicolas Jackson scoring a first Premier League hat-trick.

Paul Merson declared prior to the game that he would be “shocked” if Chelsea lost. He received a lot of flak for such remarks at the time, especially since Spurs were winning the league.

The outspoken commentator, however, used Twitter to dismiss those detractors, telling those who labeled him “clueless” to “go to bed.”

Paul Merson isn’t afraid to voice his opinions, no matter how he is received. He was certain that Chelsea would prevail because Tottenham would assault them and create gaps in the defense.

And boy did they succeed in doing so, with Ange Postecoglou not afraid to play his extremely high line even with ten, and quite astonishingly, nine men.

However, it ended up

Tottenham 1-4 Chelsea – A game for the ages

This will go down as an all-time classic. It’s crazy to think that Spurs actually opened the scoring through Dejan Kulusevski.

You would have thought that the luck was very much with the home team because his effort on goal did take a deflection before it wrong-footed the Chelsea goalkeeper, Robert Sanchez.

But that’s where Spurs’ luck stopped because, not only did they proceed to go down to ten men in the first half when Cristian Romero was sent off for a rash challenge, but they also gave away a penalty in that moment.

Before Micky van de Ven and James Maddison had to go off injured, then Destiny Udogie picked up his second yellow card early in the second half. Goals continued to get disallowed, even for Spurs, before their high line just outdid them and Chelsea sealed the points.

When is the reserve fixture at Stamford Bridge?!
