Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>Chelsea ended nine-man Tottenham’s unbeaten start to the Premier League season as Nicolas Jackson’s hat-trick inspired a 4-1 win in a chaotic clash filled with VAR drama on Monday.<\/b><\/p>\n

Blues boss Mauricio Pochettino was able to savour a sweet victory over Tottenham on his first return to the club since his sacking in 2019.<\/p>\n

But the Argentine’s revenge mission was overshadowed by an incredible litany of controversial incidents including red cards for Tottenham duo Cristian Romero and Destiny Udogie.<\/p>\n

Dejan Kulusevski had given Tottenham an early lead, but Romero was dismissed for a foul that led to Cole Palmer’s equaliser from the penalty spot before half-time.<\/p>\n

Referee Michael Oliver and the over-worked VAR officials sent off Udogie soon after the break for his second booking.<\/p>\n

Both teams had goals disallowed by VAR, while Tottenham’s misfortune also included losing England playmaker James Maddison and Dutch defender Micky van de Ven to first-half injuries.<\/p>\n

Chelsea finally made the most of their numerical advantage when Senegal striker Jackson netted three times in the closing stages to hand Tottenham their first defeat in 11 league games.<\/p>\n

Ange Postecoglou’s team remain in second place, one point behind leaders Manchester City, while Chelsea moved up to 10th place after their first win in three league games.<\/p>\n

“There will be a forensic study of every decision out there, I think that is the way the game is going and I don’t like it,” Postecoglou said.<\/p>\n

“If you look at all that standing around we did today, maybe people enjoy that sort of thing but I’d rather see us playing football.”<\/p>\n

Pochettino was given a largely warm reception by Tottenham fans in recognition of a five-year reign that included taking them to their maiden Champions League final.<\/p>\n

But there could be no doubting his pleasure at inflicting a first league defeat on his former employers this term, especially given the extraordinary circumstances of one of the Premier League’s most incendiary matches.<\/p>\n

“The technology is there and we need to accept. Many things happen on the pitch and you need to verify and check,” Pochettino said.<\/p>\n

“We deserve the credit. Tottenham are doing fantastic but tonight we were the better team.”<\/p>\n

Tottenham had made the perfect start in the sixth minute when Kulusevski unleashed a powerful shot that deflected in off Levi Colwill.<\/p>\n

Chelsea seige<\/b><\/p>\n

Tottenham were fortunate not to be reduced to 10 men when Udogie was only booked after VAR looked at his reckless two-footed lunge on Raheem Sterling.<\/p>\n

Sterling and Tottenham’s Son Heung-min both had goals disallowed by VAR for handball and offside respectively.<\/p>\n

An already heated encounter approached boiling point after Romero escaped a red card for kicking out at Colwill.<\/p>\n

It was a short-lived reprieve for Romero as the Tottenham defender saw red in the 33rd minute.<\/p>\n

When Moises Caicedo’s blast from the edge of the area beat Guglielmo Vicario, VAR ruled Jackson was offside but still came to Chelsea’s aid.<\/p>\n

As the VAR check went on, Romero’s challenge on Enzo Fernandez just before Caicedo’s shot was adjudged to be a penalty, with the defender dismissed for his studs-up follow-through on the Chelsea midfielder’s shin.<\/p>\n

Palmer’s spot-kick was almost saved by Vicario but it had enough power to elude his grasp as it went in via the post.<\/p>\n

Udogie had flirted with a red card earlier in the game and he finally got his marching orders in the 55th minute for a crude lunge on Sterling.<\/p>\n

That set the stage for a Chelsea seige as Spurs played a high defensive line, allowing the visitors to get behind them.<\/p>\n

Chelsea landed the knockout blow in the 75th minute when Sterling raced away down the right and his cross was slotted home by Jackson from 10 yards.<\/p>\n

Even then, Tottenham commendably kept fighting and Eric Dier was denied by a VAR-ruled offside before Rodrigo Bentancur headed inches wide and Sanchez saved from Son.<\/p>\n

The carnage climaxed in stoppage-time when Jackson fired home from Conor Gallagher’s cross, then ran clear to condemn Tottenham to a rare defeat.<\/p>\n
