Speaking on Match of the Day 2, Sancho said: “Going 2-0 down in the first half was not ideal but I knew we’d come back into the game when we got that first goal. “Going in at halftime, the gaffer was telling us we were in the game. I have so much belief in the players so I knew we’d come out firing. “They’re very aggressive and we knew we’d catch them if we broke the lines and beat the press. The gaffer told us to stay wide and create the one-on-ones. “I’ve been working on my shooting a bit more. The staff and the players have been telling me otherwise.” Chelsea fell behind after five minutes when their former striker Dominic Solanke scored following a Marc Cucurella slip. Chelsea were far from their best but their attacking quality shone throughGetty Then asked about Cucurella’s boots, Sancho continued: “They’re going in the bin after this game. After the mistakes, I thought he played fantastic. We believe in Cucu. “We’ve got back-to-back games every week, we need this rotation in the squad. There’s one team and then another team. It gets rotated and it works. “We’ve got so many talented players and we push each other. I’m thankful I’m here.” Dejan Kulusevski doubled Spurs’ lead moments later with a low and slow strike that nestled into the bottom corner. Sancho responded in the 17th minute with an excellent finish from outside the area ahead of Chelsea’s second-half turnaround. Cole Palmer equalised with a penalty after a rash Yves Bissouma foul on Moises Caicedo on the approach to the hour mark. Enzo Fernandez fired the Blues ahead for the first time shortly after, doing so with a well-executed half-volley. Palmer sealed all three points with an exquisite Panenka penalty that Spurs goalkeeper Fraser Forster could only watch as it went in. The hosts scored a consolation through Heung-min Son in stoppage time as Chelsea ran out as winners in north London. Spurs will also have to deal with injuries to Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven, who both returned to the line-up after recent absences.
