Oliver Skipp and Harry Kane scored the goals to give Antonio Conte’s men the latest bragging rights over their struggling neighbours.

Damning stats

The defeat on Sunday was the latest setback for Potter in his bid to revive the club’s fortunes, a battle he is losing.

Harry Kane has score 19 goals for Tottenham this season

His reign at Chelsea has produced some damning stats, with Sunday’s loss adding to the numbers.

Here are some of those stats which will define Potter’s time with the Stamford Bridge landlords.

  • Four players have outscored Chelsea in 2023

Potter and Chelsea failed once again to find the back of the net for the second consecutive game in all competitions.

Chelsea are struggling under Graham Potter.

The latest blank means the Blues have only scored four times this year in the Premier League and four players have now scored more in the league in 2023 than the Blues, with Kane, who opened the scoring today, amongst them.

Leading the pack is Manchester United star, Marcus Rashford, who has scored eight goals, followed by another Manchester boy, City’s Erling Haaland, with six goals.

Marcus Rashford has scored four more goals than Chelsea in 2023.

Kane, with five goals and Ollie Watkins, complete the lineup of players with more goals than Chelsea in 2023.

  • One win in 2023

Chelsea’s form is so bad that Potter and his men have only managed just one victory in 11 matches since the turn of the year.

Potter's Chelsea have just one win in 11 matches in 2023.

They have also conceded 14 goals in that time, an average of over one goal per game.

  • Worst away record in 22 years 

For the first time in over two decades, Chelsea have failed to win eight consecutive matches on the road.

The defeat to Spurs saw the Blues make it eight away matches without a win for the first time since March 2001.

That’s not all

Kane’s goal also means he becomes the first Spurs player to score against Chelsea home and away in the same league season in over 30 years.

Harry Kane scored Spurs' second goal vs Chelsea in the Premier League.

Spurs legend, Gary Lineker, was the last player to achieve that feat against the Blues back in the 1990/91 season.

Also, there is this record below, not the kind of company Chelsea fans want to see their two-time Champions League-winning team in.
