Chelsea ended Tottenham’s unbeaten start to the season in a Premier League classic in north London. The Blues won 4-1 but boss Mauricio Pochettino still has a number of concerns that will worry him moving forward.<\/p>\n
Tottenham took an early lead when Dejan Kulusevski’s shot took a cruel deflection of Levi Colwill to leave Robert Sanchez helpless. But the early domination from the hosts wasn’t to last.<\/p>\n
Chelsea had two goals disallowed for offside after Destiny Udogie was lucky to escape red for a tackle on Raheem Sterling. Cristian Romero was then sent off for a high challenge on Enzo Fernandez, with Cole Palmer equalising from the resulting penalty.<\/p>\n
Udogie finally got his marching orders early in the second half with a trip on Sterling earning him a second yellow. Spurs and especially goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario put up a huge fight to preserve their unbeaten run but Chelsea finally broke through with Nicolas Jackson scoring from close range.<\/p>\n
Spurs then pushed for an equaliser of their own and ultimately opened themselves up at the back, with Jackson adding two more to complete a hat-trick. Express Sport<\/em> looks at three problems Chelsea still face despite the win.<\/p>\n

Caicedo difficulties<\/strong><\/p>\n
Moises Caicedo cost Chelsea a British record transfer fee of \u00a3115million in the summer. However, he is yet to show his real form from his time at Brighton.<\/p>\n
The Ecuador star was unable to take a grip on the match, even when Spurs were down to nine. It appears he will take longer to settle at Stamford Bridge than most would have predicted.<\/p>\n
Mudryk struggles<\/strong><\/p>\n
Mykhaylo Mudryk had a night to forget after coming on to replace Fernandez in the 58th minute. It seemed everything the winger did went wrong.<\/p>\n
Chelsea needed to remain calm and wait for the open spaces. But Mudryk was often wasteful in possession and the \u00a388m they spent on him looks stranger by the day.<\/p>\n

Goalscoring issues<\/strong><\/p>\n
Chelsea have struggled to score goals for what seems like an eternity now. It was the same even against nine players.<\/p>\n
In truth, the Blues could easily have hit double figures. Tottenham did their best but Chelsea were wasteful in the 18-yard box until they finally scored a second.<\/p>\n
Jackson grabbed a hat-trick but could have scored six on his own. Chelsea scored four but that doesn’t tell the tale of all the chances they missed with the score at 1-1 against nine men.<\/p>\n
