Chelsea fans were elated after their side bagged a 2-0 win in a London derby against Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League on Thursday, May 2, at Stamford Bridge.

"London is always blue."
"This is the worst Chelsea side in recent memory and we still managed to do the double over Tottenham without breaking a sweat. Spurs really are a laughing stock."
"This might be one of the first times this season where we've played well for a full 90 minutes this season. Hopefully can build upon this," Another chimed in.
"What a performance."
"Chelsea vs Tottenham 3 points is always a Chelsea thing both home and away. Well played boys enjoyed that win."

Chelsea boss speaks about his future at the club
Mauricio Pochettino has had a tough first season at Stamford Bridge. With his future at the club uncertain, the Argentinian said after the win over Tottenham:
“It's difficult to see every single week that I am under scrutiny and judgement. It's not my decision whether to be here or not to be here next season."
"All managers need time to translate their ideas and philosophy, we need time," he added.
The Blues face West Ham next in the Premier League on May 5 at Stamford Bridge.
