Frank shows up Jose
Chelsea enjoyed a timely return to form to outplay Tottenham Hotspur in a 2-0 away victory in the Premier League as Frank Lampard outwitted his former mentor Jose Mourinho on Sunday.
Willian struck both goals in the first half as Chelsea consolidated fourth place while Tottenham’s dismal afternoon went from bad to worse as Son Heung-min was shown a red card just past the hour mark.
It was the first time in 14 matches at home against one of his previous clubs that Mourinho had suffered a defeat.
Willian punished slack defending to open the scoring after 12 minutes and Tottenham barely created a decent chance in response before the Brazilian slotted home from a penalty awarded by VAR just before halftime.
Tottenham’s hopes of a revival were scuppered when Son needlessly kicked out at Antonio Rudiger and was shown a red card, with the decision again being made by VAR.
Chelsea are in fourth place, with Tottenham six points back in seventh spot.
