#4 Flop: Giovani Lo Celso
The responsibility of creating the chances for Tottenham was on the shoulders of Giovani Lo Celso. Harry Kane and Son Heung-min are both injured, and, Dele Alli was on the bench for this game.
The Argentine struggled to influence the proceedings for most of the game. He started out wide due to which he was not able to influence the game as much the visitors would have wanted.
His performance improved in the second half. He was involved in everything Tottenham did well, however, he was probably lucky to stay on the pitch. His challenge on César Azpilicueta looked worse in slow motion and it was a surprise when he was not shown a red card even after a VAR check.
As Tottenham's star players will be out for some more time, the fans will hope that the playmaker is able to put this performance behind him and be more influential in the coming weeks.

#3 Hit: Olivier Giroud
Olivier Giroud started for Chelsea after Tammy Abraham was fit enough to only be on the bench. Giroud was rewarded with a start after producing a promising cameo against Manchester United earlier in the week.
The Frenchman was sharp throughout the game. He was holding up the ball and linking with both Mason Mount and Ross Barkley nicely. The striker scored his first premier league goal of the season in the 15th minute of the game. He came up with an amazing shot to score the first goal of the game.
Giroud was close to a move away from Chelsea in the January transfer window, however, he had to stay after Chelsea could not find a replacement. The striker has not been given enough chances by Frank Lampard this season, but, this game will surely increase his participation in the coming weeks. His experience will be very important for Frank Lampard's young side as they look to finish in the top four this season.
