Chelsea extended their flying start to the season with a 3-0 win at London rivals Tottenham Hotspur as both clubs paid an emotional tribute to their former striker Jimmy Greaves on Sunday. Thiago Silva put Chelsea ahead early in the second half before N'Golo Kante bagged his first club goal since December 2019. Antonio Rudiger rounded off Chelsea's dominant display with a stoppage-time strike as Thomas Tuchel's latest tactical masterclass paid rich dividends. Tuchel's unbeaten side sit top of the Premier League after winning four of their first five games.
Chelsea have only conceded one league goal so far this season despite a tricky fixture list that featured trips to Liverpool, Tottenham and Arsenal.
They face another test of their title credentials next weekend when champions Manchester City visit Stamford Bridge.
It was fitting that two of Greaves' old clubs met on the day he passed away aged 81.
Hailed as "the finest marksman this country has ever seen" by Tottenham, Greaves is the club's record scorer with 266 goals in 379 appearances between 1961 and 1970.
