Moises Caicedo thought he had gotten Chelsea’s second goal with a spectacular volley moments later but it was eventually ruled out for offside following VAR review. Meanwhile, Spurs failed to register a shot on goal until the 69th minute when substitute Pape Matar Sarr volleyed home from long-range past Robert Sanchez.
