Su Luo's shot this time was incredibly fast.
In the blink of an eye—
The ball curved beautifully through the air, drawing a perfect arc!
And just like that—
It flew straight into the net!
Although Tottenham's goalkeeper, Lloris, had done his best—
He tried everything to stop it.
But unfortunately—
Su Luo's shot was simply too fast.
Lloris had no chance to make contact with the ball.
All he could do was watch as it sailed into the goal.
The score was now 2-0.
A two-goal lead for Chelsea was a massive psychological blow for Tottenham, especially playing away from home.
"Su Luo scores directly from the free kick!!"
"His shot was just too fast!!"
"In the blink of an eye, the ball curled perfectly around the wall!!"
"This is the brilliance of Su Luo!!"
The game resumed.
But from that moment on, Chelsea started piling on the pressure.
For Tottenham, playing away from home—
There was no room for retreat.
They had no choice but to defend!
On the sidelines, Tottenham's head coach, Mauricio Pochettino, was yelling frantically at his players:
"Defend!! Stay focused on defense!"
"Stabilize the current score first!"
As one of the top managers in the Premier League, Pochettino understood one thing clearly—
If Tottenham tried to go head-to-head with Chelsea in their current state—
The match could easily turn into an 8-0 disaster.
So—
The best option for Tottenham was to focus on defense.
After all, with one fewer player on the pitch, a reckless attack could cost them even more.
Naturally—
The most logical response was to defend.
But—
Purely sitting back and defending wouldn't help Tottenham win.
As time went on, Chelsea started moving the ball faster and launching relentless attacks on the Tottenham goal!
Chelsea's intent was crystal clear—
Finish them off while they're struggling!
From the sidelines, Antonio Conte continued barking orders at his players, urging them to push forward aggressively.
30 Minutes Into the Match
Chelsea's midfield maestro, Cesc Fàbregas, had just gained control of the ball, looking to make a pass—
When suddenly—
Multiple Tottenham defenders closed in on him!
Among them were Mousa Dembélé and Eric Dier.
Both midfielders were laser-focused.
The moment they saw Fàbregas receive the ball, they rushed forward without hesitation.
They engaged in direct physical confrontations with him!
But—
Fàbregas was far too experienced for that.
Instead of engaging in a physical battle, he cleverly adjusted his rhythm—
With a sudden feint, he performed a step-over, using his change of pace to break past both defenders at once!
In the next second—
Fàbregas spotted Willian unmarked on the right wing.
Without a moment's hesitation—
He delivered a lightning-fast cross!
Within an instant—
The ball landed perfectly at Willian's feet on the flank.
