Five goals canceled as Jackson’s hat-trick sinks nine-man Spurs in chaotic EPL derby

Chelsea handed Tottenham their first defeat of the Premier League season, with Nicolas Jackson’s hat-trick.

Spurs, previously the only unbeaten side in the league, faced a 4-1 loss against Chelsea on Monday night.

The standout performer of the night was Jackson, who secured his first treble as a Chelsea player.

The chaotic encounter saw many dramas, including two red cards for Tottenham players and the disallowance of five goals.

Things changed for Ange Postecoglou’s side when Cristian Romero and Destiny Udogie were sent off, leaving them with only nine players on the field.

This disadvantage, combined with Chelsea’s continuous attacking force, proved to be a challenging obstacle for the home team.
