Tottenham Hotspur vs Chelsea
NO GOAL! Another sweeping move from Spurs carves Chelsea open with a series of perfectly weighted passes. Bissouma finds Johnson out wide, and he fires in an early cross to pick out Son in the middle. The forward takes it first time, perhaps catching Sanchez out, and the shot flies past the Chelsea goalkeeper and in. It is a brilliant attack, but the flag goes up for offside, though there will be a VAR check...

SAVE! Maddison inexplicably gives the ball away under very little pressure, and Sterling puts Jackson in on goal. The striker hesitates but manages to cut back and find the space to shoot, and his effort looks like it will fly into the bottom corner, until Vicario gets down to his left and palms it behind for a corner.
