Enzo Fernandez has sent Chelsea back into the Champions League qualification positions with a second-half header that secured a 1-0 win over Tottenham in a typically feisty Premier League derby between the London rivals.

Enzo Fernandez header sends Chelsea back into top four after win over Tottenham - Moises Caicedo and Pape Sarr had goals ruled out by VAR.

To start with, the win over Tottenham moves the club up to fourth and improves their chances of Champions League football next season.

Chelsea are back up into fourth in the Premier League table after edging out Tottenham in a relatively low-key London derby. Enzo Fernandez netted the only goal of the game early in the second half as the Blues responded to Manchester City and Newcastle wins to put themselves back in the drivers seat for Champions League qualification.
