Tottenham 3 Chelsea 1
In Tottenham's final Premier League game, they played against an undefeated Chelsea side.
Tottenham had its best start to the season in the Premier League before the Chelsea match.
But under Maurizio Sarri, Chelsea was the only team in England to be undefeated in all competitions.
Despite this, Tottenham would take a quick lead over Dele Alli at 8th minute.
Harry Kane doubled the Spurs' lead eight minutes later and Son Heung-Min scored three for Tottenham shortly after half-time.
Olivier Giroud would withdraw one for Chelsea in the 85th minute, however, the Spurs would always leave with the three points.

The strange reason for Pochettino for his son starting over Lucas
A slightly surprising selection for Tottenham vs. Chelsea was Lucas's starter.
Lucas had played in Tottenham's previous 12 Premier League games this season and had scored four and helped one.
Lucas played mainly as a junior striker or offensive midfielder and did a solid job.
However, the Brazilian would be replaced instead of Son for the vital shock with Chelsea.
After the match, the boss of Spurs, Marico Pochettino, gave a strange reason to choose Son instead of Lucas:
"It's a question of intuition. Sometimes, in football, we feel someone. "

"Feeling someone" is a strange reason to choose a player, but it has paid off as Son is on the scoresheet and the Spurs have won all three points.
Tottenham is facing a very important game of the Champions League with Inter Milan on Wednesday.
