Good ball from Levi Colwill straight through the middle and Pedro Neto makes a great run once again, but his first touch is poor and just pushes it straight to Antonín Kinsky.

You can see the disappointment in Maddison's body language and whether you're a Tottenham fan or not, he makes a game brighter, and that is a real shame.

James Maddison looks understandably dejected as he makes his way off the pitch. He is replaced by Conor Gallagher, loud boos greeting his arrival from the home fans.

James Maddison just can't stay fit can he?

He sat down there on the floor and there you go, that sigh from Roberto De Zerbi says it all.

Oh this is a big concern for Tottenham.

James Maddison, who made his first start since May 2025 last-time out, is sat on the grass with an issue. He's going to have to go off.

Bit silly by Omar Marmoush as he grabs hold of Maxence Lacroix as he tries to win possession just outside the Chelsea box.

Morgan Rogers up front is all well and good but it's not where he wants to be. It just doesn't feel as fluent [without Joao Pedro].

Chelsea have come out looking exactly the same, I thought Alonso would have made a tactical or personnel change.

Mohammed Kudus dispossess Jorrel Hato and for a moment Chelsea look in trouble but Hato recovers to knock the ball out of play. Tottenham throw but it could have been worse for the hosts.

Tottenham get the second half up and running.

The players are returning to the pitch. Doesn't look like there's going to be any changes for either side.

Everton

Everton captain James Tarkowski, speaking to PLP: "I thought the referee was very poor today. He gave them so many soft ones first half and gave us absolutely nothing.

"Harrison Armstrong had his shorts pulled off by Gyokores not too long before the second goal and he didn't give that.

"We all have bad days but I thought the referee had an especially bad one today."

Tottenham have failed to score in the first half in each of their last nine Premier League visits to Stamford Bridge, since their 3-1 victory in April 2018.

Everton

Everton manager David Moyes, speaking to Sky Sports: "Just OK, done some good bits but not enough.

"To give the goal away early was a problem for us. After them having a game midweek, it gave them something to hang onto and play with.

"We did a lot of good things but, at that moment, we didn't get it right."

On lessons from Chelsea and Arsenal games: "We're competitive against them both. We've not been rolled over in either game.

"We're lacking a little bit, which we know but I do think that in the main, we've tried to give both games a good effort and I think we did. Today we didn't do as well as we'd like but we still gave it a good effort."

Tottenham will probably be the happier of the two sides. Goalless at the break.

It's been an interesting half. A frantic pace at times.

Tottenham have controlled it and I think De Zerbi will be happy coming to Stamford Bridge and imposing their style of play. But you feel it's on a knife's edge and a mistake or a good bit of play could decide it.

Nice move by Chelsea as Pedro Neto makes a good run to meet a low free-kick into the box but his first-time strike towards the near post fails to beat Antonín Kinsky.

Chelsea have a corner and Jordan Henderson takes it, but the delivery is a poor one, failing to beat the first man at the near post.

Tottenham purposefully make the game really small in order to drag in as many Chelsea players as they can. There's very skillful players in there - Maddison and Tonali.
