Tottenham player ratings vs Chelsea - Mathys Tel and Mateus Fernandes star with five 9s dished out

Here are our Tottenham Hotspur player ratings after their big win at Stamford Bridge against Chelsea in the Premier League on Saturday

Tottenham Hotspur players celebrate after Mike Penders' own goal

Tottenham won 2-0 at Chelsea on Saturday night in the Premier League and here are our Spurs player ratings from the big victory at Stamford Bridge.

Spurs had won just once in their previous 41 matches in all competitions at the Blues' home with a Dele Alli double and a Christian Eriksen effort from distance handing them their last victory at Stamford Bridge, back in April 2018.

Roberto De Zerbi gave what was only a fourth Premier League start of the season to £85million summer signing Mateus Fernandes, the 22-year-old's first start in the centre of the pitch alongside Sandro Tonali, and it proved to be a great decision with the Portuguese starring.

James Maddison made it back-to-back starts after almost 18 months previously out of the line-up while Pedro Porro was back from his hamstring injury to take his place on the bench.

The early exchanges were scrappy in the swirling wind and rain until Spurs stopper Antonin Kinsky was called upon to make a flying full-length save from Cole Palmer's curling effort inside the box 14 minutes in.

The visitors should have taken the lead just before the half hour mark. Maddison sent Andy Robertson away down the left and, after a one-two with Mathys Tel, the Scot found Omar Marmoush unmarked in the box but his first-time strike was too central and Mike Penders saved.

Spurs had looked the better side in the first half but lost Maddison just five minutes into the second period as he waved to the bench to come off. He was replaced by former Chelsea midfielder Conor Gallagher and trudged disconsolately straight down the tunnel.

There was little quality but still plenty of fight which spilled over in the 70th minute. Van de Ven and Fernandes both fouled Chelsea players to try to stop a break after a poor Gallagher pass. Palmer then came over and barged into Fernandes off the ball as he sat on the floor.

That sparked clashes between the two benches with yellow cards dished out for Fernandes, Palmer, Van de Ven and De Zerbi as well as a Chelsea staff member.

Just minutes later Spurs took the lead. A Fernandes corner curled into the six-yard box on 77 minutes and Chelsea goalkeeper Mike Penders, in for the injured Emi Martinez, punched the ball behind him and over the goalline. The referee got the notification on his watch and pointed to the centre circle.

Matters got worse for the hosts three minutes later when Palmer, already on a booking for barging into Fernandes, caught Tonali late on the edge of the Chelsea box. The referee Chris Kavanagh brandished a second yellow card and then the red.

Spurs wrapped up the match with a beautiful goal. Tel raced from his own half and cut inside two challenges before hitting a brilliant low shot right inside the left-hand post. The delighted De Zerbi raced down the touchline towards the Spurs fans and celebrated at them.

Here are our Spurs player ratings:

Antonin Kinsky

Saved superbly from Palmer's curling effort just before the quarter hour mark. Got himself into trouble with some poor passes that went straight to Chelsea but each time made the required saves, even if the flag went up on a couple of those occasions. Saved from Neto in the second half. Made a lot of saves but some from his own mistakes. 7

Archie Gray

Another top drawer performance, first at right-back and then at left-back before finishing the game on the left wing. Does everything asked of him and then some. 8

Jan Paul van Hecke

Dominant in the air and mostly on the deck as well. One of his best performances since joining. Forced the first goal as well. 9

Micky van de Ven

Some big challenges in key areas and mopping up when needed. A captain's performance. 9

Andy Robertson

Should have had an assist if Marmoush had put his shot anywhere but straight forward. Put in a good shift before coming off after the hour mark. 7

Mateus Fernandes

Finally starting in the centre of the pitch, he quickly grew into the game after getting caught in possession on a couple of occasions early on. Handed Chelsea an opportunity with a poor pass just after the hour mark but otherwise excellent on his return to the starting line-up. It was his corner that forced the goal. Would have been a 10 but for those couple of iffy passes but showed why he should be starting week in, week out now. 9

Sandro Tonali

Another big performance in the centre of the pitch and he's looking every inch the player that Spurs broke the bank for. 9

Mohammed Kudus

Curled an effort just wide of the left-hand post 20 minutes in. Some good defensive work and kept Chelsea on their toes. 7

James Maddison

Really bright in the first half with plenty of quick forward passes. Looked really sharp but was forced off just five minutes into the second half. 7

Mathys Tel

Got plenty of joy down the left up against Acheampong and got more and more into the game. Sealed the victory with a brilliant goal, running from his own half and firing a low shot past Penders. 9

Omar Marmoush

Should have opened the scoring 29 minutes in when free in the box from Robertson's low ball but his shot was too safe and central. Didn't see too much of the ball as the lone striker and came off 65 minutes in. 5

Subs

Conor Gallagher

Thrust into the action just five minutes into the second half. Worked hard to make up for the absence of Maddison. 7

Dominic Solanke

Gave Chelsea something more to think about at the back. 6

Pedro Porro

Made his return and got some good crosses into the box. 6

Dejan Kulusevski

More minutes late on and helped Spurs keep the ball in the Chelsea half. N/A

Ben Davies

Slotted in at left-back for the final minutes and nothing got past him. N/A
