Chelsea get a corner down their left as Chilwell's shot is charged down. Mudryk takes it. Tottenham make a no-fuss clearance.
89'
Pedro Porro enters the game and replaces Richarlison.
Richarlison heads off. He's succeeding in winding Chelsea up here, if nothing else. Porro replaces him.
James sends a misguided cross over the top of Tottenham's box. It floats over everyone and Spurs guide it out of play.

M. Mudryk enters the game and replaces João Félix.

82'
H. Kane has scored a goal for Tottenham Hotspur! Assist by E. Dier.
GOAL! TOTTENHAM 2-0 CHELSEA! It looks too late for Chelsea now! Son swings the corner into the middle. Dier flicks it on to Kane at the far post who steers it past Kepa!
Dier did very well to beat his marker there and find Kane who had an easy finish. This has been a glum game for Chelsea.

79'
Son Heung-Min enters the game and replaces D. Kulusevski.

Minute
Description
78'
From the corner James shoots wide from outside the box. That won't worry Spurs one bit.
74'
M. Mount gets yellow.
Mount's caught by Romero as the Argentine attempts to pass upfield. The Englishman isn't given a free-kick. Instead he's shown the yellow card for dissent.
73'
The referee's spent the last minute or two off the pitch to get his audio equipment fixed. He's thankfully back on now.
71'
Richarlison makes a dash through the middle and waits for the right pass. Davies tries to supply it but Fofana's in the right place to cut it out.
70'
Sterling gets a tame shot off at Forster. It's nothing Tottenham's back-up goalkeeper can't handle.
69'
The Tottenham fans cheer as Chilwell plays a poor pass out for a throw-in. Potter grimaces.
65'

59'
B. Davies gets yellow.
Davies gets booked for a cynical tackle that stops Loftus-Cheek's counter-attack.

56'
Chelsea patiently construct their next attack. The next goal in this game will be crucial if there is one.
54'
Tottenham think they should have a penalty as Richarlison goes down in the box. The referee disagrees.
52'
Ziyech lets fly from distance with his left foot. The shot whizzes well over the crossbar.

Kane and Koulibaly accidentally brush heads as they challenge for a cross. Tottenham's talisman is in some discomfort but looks good to carry on.
46'
O. Skipp has scored a goal for Tottenham Hotspur!
GOAL! TOTTENHAM 1-0 CHELSEA! Spurs get off to a flying start to the half! Kepa saves Emerson's low shot from the right of the box. The ball comes out to Skipp, who leathers it into the net off the crossbar!
The second half gets started. No changes at half-time.
45' +8
HALF-TIME: TOTTENHAM 0-0 CHELSEA
45' +7
Play finally gets back underway. 'You're not fit to referee,' the Tottenham fans chant. Davies skips down the left and looks for Richarlison in the middle. Chelsea cut the chance out.
45' +6
H. Ziyech gets yellow.
NO RED CARD FOR ZIYECH! On second viewing, Ziyech did shove a Tottenham player in the fracas but it's not enough for a red card offence. The referee downgrades it to a yellow to boos from the home fans. What a farce.
45' +3
K. Havertz gets yellow.
Emerson Royal gets yellow.
Once the dust settles, Havertz is first to be shown a yellow card.
Emerson is next to receive a booking for his part in the argument.
45' +2
There's another flare-up between Ziyech and Richarlison as the Moroccan chops the Brazilian down. Both sets of players wade into the discussion, leading the referee to break it up.
45'
Chelsea force another corner that comes to naught. There'll be three added minutes at the end of this first half.
40'
Tottenham huff and puff for a while in Chelsea's half without achieving much. The game's slowed down a little after that fast-paced start.
38'
Felix twists and turns near the byline and goes down under Romero's challenge. No penalty.
36'
Chelsea appear to have ridden out that spell of Spurs pressure. They'll be relieved to have done so.
34'
Kepa makes a clearance and gets whacked by Kane who's closing him down. The Chelsea goalkeeper takes his time to get up. Tottenham's fans aren't happy with Chelsea's players spending so much time on the turf.
32'
Kane floats a cheeky pass over the top for Romero which Kepa claims first. Fofana's down briefly rubbing his backside but looks to be OK.
31'
Kulusevski and Emerson combine but can't get past Koulibaly. Tottenham take a short corner that Richarlison's unable to reach.

Chelsea see out the corner, but Tottenham are growing in confidence. Richarlison brings an unfair end to James' surging run.

Hojbjerg loses possession in the centre of the pitch. The offside flag goes up against Felix as he's sent scampering down the right.
20'
Kane looks up and drags a left-footed shot well wide from distance. Chelsea seem vulnerable on the counter.
19'
W. Fofana enters the game and replaces Thiago Silva.
Chelsea make that enforced substitution. Fofana takes Silva's place at centre-back.
16'
Tottenham's corner is uneventful. Silva's back on but doesn't look comfortable. Potter shakes his head. Fofana gets ready to come on.
15'
Silva's down on the turf. The 38-year-old looks to have taken a knock to the knee. He leaves the pitch temporarily for treatment. Kulusevski will take the corner in the meantime.
13'
Sterling motors down the left and flings a high cross into the box that comes to nothing. Suddenly Tottenham are racing forward on the counter. Kane jinks through the middle to earn Spurs a corner. This is end-to-end stuff!
12'
Kane takes advantage of Felix's mistake to dribble through the middle. He can't get past Silva though. Up the other end, Ziyech's hopeful effort at goal gets cut out.
11'
There's already some decent needle in this game. Ziyech is penalised for tripping Richarlison. Both players throw up their arms in frustration.
9'
Felix wins a free-kick on the right wing as he's taken out by Dier. The ball's floated into the box. Tottenham win the header and get a decision in their favour as Sterling bundles over Emerson.
7'

The visitors Chelsea get this London derby underway!
Hello and welcome to our live text commentary of this Premier League match between Tottenham and Chelsea at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Tottenham come into this London derby looking to go unbeaten in both Premier League meetings against Chelsea in a single season since 2015-16. The North Londoners are in good form, having picked up wins against Manchester City and West Ham in their last two home league games.
Chelsea, meanwhile, continue to sputter under Graham Potter. The Blues have scored just six goals in their last 11 Premier League games and sank to a new low last time out by losing 1-0 to Southampton at Stamford Bridge. If they don't improve soon, Potter's job may be at serious risk.
TOTTENHAM (3-4-3): Fraser Forster; Cristian Romero, Eric Dier, Clement Lenglet; Emerson, Oliver Skipp, Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, Ben Davies; Dejan Kulusevski, Harry Kane (c), Richarlison.
SUBS: Japhet Tanganga, Brandon Austin, Arnaut Danjuma Groeneveld, Ivan Perisic, Pedro Porro, Son Heung-Min, Pape Sarr, Lucas Moura, Davinson Sanchez.
CHELSEA (4-2-3-1): Kepa Arrizabalaga; Reece James, Thiago Silva (c), Kalidou Koulibaly, Ben Chilwell; Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Enzo Fernandez, Hakim Ziyech, Joao Felix, Raheem Sterling; Kai Havertz.
