Why Djed Spence's sister was left fuming following Tottenham's loss to Chelsea
Djed Spence's sister Karla-Simone was left visibly frustrated following Tottenham's 1-0 loss to Chelsea on Thursday.
Despite the drama, which included nine yellow cards and two goals ruled out by VAR, the Blues managed to secure all three points thanks to a second-half header from Enzo Fernandez.
The decisive moment came early in the second half when Cole Palmer delivered a precise pass to Fernandez, who headed home from six yards out.
)
Chelsea's victory was not just about the goals scored but also about the impact of players like Jackson. His return to action marked a significant boost for the team, as he played for 82 minutes against Tottenham after a lengthy absence.
Jackson nearly opened the scoring early on when a clearance from Micky van de Ven deflected off him and hit the post.
)
Tottenham responded with Son Heung-min testing Chelsea's defense, while Jadon Sancho forced a crucial save from Guglielmo Vicario before halftime.
Moises Caicedo came close to doubling the lead with a stunning volley, but VAR intervened, ruling an offside in the buildup.
)
Tottenham thought they had equalised through Pape Matar Sarr, but VAR again ruled in Chelsea's favor, deeming Sarr's challenge a foul. Despite not extending their advantage, Chelsea secured a crucial win that moved them back into a Champions League spot.
While he did not score, Hasselbaink singled out Jackson for praise, emphasising the striker's unique contribution to the team.
)
He noted, “It’s a good performance after their last game against Arsenal. Nicolas [Jackson] is important to the team; he brings a lot of energy, [and] he gives them something different.”
“He needs to get better at converting his chances but he creates his own chances a lot of the time. He puts defenders on the back foot.”
)
This assessment highlights Jackson's ability to create opportunities and unsettle opposing defenders, even if he still needs to improve his finishing.
As Chelsea look to maintain their momentum, players like Jackson will be crucial in providing the energy and creativity needed to compete at the top level.
)
With Jackson back in the fold, the Blues are poised to make a strong push for the remainder of the season.
