Carabao Cup 2018-19, Tottenham 1-0 Chelsea: 5 Talking Points

#3 The second half completely goes to Chelsea

Hudson-Odoi was a treat to the eyes

The Blues created chance after chance in the second half, and moreover, established a major foothold on the game. They took the occasion by the scruff of the neck but failed to find the back of the net.

From Hazard's freedom to choose either flank, Willian's vision to Hudson-Odoi's explosive style, it all had Spurs on the back foot.

Hudson-Odoi's touch map

In the 55th minute, the evergreen N'Golo Kante found space down the right and attempted the spectacular curling shot from 25 yards and drew a save off the top drawer from Gazzaniga.

Four minutes on, Christensen should have restored parity. He found acres of space off a corner but directed his shot just wide.

By then, the hosts had committed all bodies back, with the hope of doubling the lead through a counter-attack. Hazard had the final effort of the game in the 87th minute or so when he flashed one past Gazzaniga but saw his effort saved.
