Hello my lovely community, I am new here and happy to be part of this family. I will be bring to you the mix feelings in the world of sport.

Marcos Alonso stole Emerson Royal as Spurs tried to play out from the back, and the full-back played Havertz in behind the visitors defense to give Chelsea a 1-0 lead just five minutes into the game.

The German's strike was diverted into the net by Davinson Sanchez, but it was always going to be a goal, thus the Blues star took the lead.

Chelsea's lead was extended when woeful Ben Davies turned the ball into his own net with a deflection off his shoulder. The struggling Japhet Tanganga's misjudged clearance header from a Chelsea cross rebounded off Davies and past Hugo Lloris, giving Chelsea complete control.
Despite the fact that the game was effectively over in the first half and that the second leg was still to be played, both teams were unusually cautious, since both sides had their next clash firmly in their thoughts.
It was a victory handed to Chelsea by Tottenham, who had one of their worst starts under their new manager, much to the satisfaction of Thomas Tuchel.

Conte was on the touchline at Stamford Bridge only four years ago, and Chelsea fans were treated to a familiar sight right from the start, albeit this time from the other dugout.
Conte was out giving directions to his team right after kick-off, looking to get them in the best possible shape for a difficult match against his previous club.

Tanganga's attempt to clear a free-kick went tragically wrong as his header cannoned off teammate Davies and ended up in the back of the net.
Conte's season couldn't have started any worse, as a defensive blunder put his side down 1-0 to Chelsea after only four minutes, and the Italian was furious.
