Which team won between Chelsea and Tottenham?
Chelsea have dominated this fixture for decades, and the most recent meeting confirms the pattern holds. On April 2, 2025, Chelsea beat Tottenham 1-0 at Stamford Bridge in the Premier League, extending their iron grip on this particular matchup (Sports Mole). That result came as no surprise given the historical weight behind the blue half of London.
Match Highlights
The 2025 fixture wasn’t an isolated incident. Tottenham’s last victory over Chelsea in the Premier League came after a grinding drought — the two clubs have traded blows mostly in Chelsea’s favour for years. Looking at the broader dataset from 11v11’s match records, Chelsea have accumulated 81 wins across all competitions against Tottenham (11v11). Even when Tottenham manage a result, it tends to be hard-fought and rare.
- Chelsea 1-0 Tottenham — 04/02/2025
- Tottenham 3-4 Chelsea — 12/08/2024 (seven-goal thriller)
- Chelsea 2-0 Tottenham — 05/02/2024
- Tottenham 1-4 Chelsea — 11/06/2023
- Tottenham 0-2 Chelsea — 02/26/2023
Scoreline Details
The scorelines tell the story. In the 59-match sample tracked by SoccerPunter, Chelsea scored 105 goals to Tottenham’s 62 (SoccerPunter). That’s an average of 1.78 goals per game for Chelsea versus 1.05 for Tottenham — a gap that shows up consistently regardless of which stadium the match is played in.
The implication: Tottenham have rarely been able to solve Chelsea, whether it was the Mourinho era, the Conte years, or the current crop of managers. When the two sides meet, Chelsea start favourites by default.
Why was the Spurs Chelsea game cancelled?
Football fixtures between London rivals sometimes get rearranged due to cup commitments, international call-ups, or extraordinary circumstances — and Chelsea versus Tottenham is no stranger to schedule upheavals. The 2025-26 season’s Matchweek 36 fixture list underwent amendments that affected this fixture directly.
Fixture Amendments
Chelsea v Tottenham was given a new date after the original scheduling conflicted with other Premier League commitments. According to Sofascore records, the fixture is now slated for May 17, 2026 at Stamford Bridge (Sofascore). While the date has been confirmed, whether the match proceeds as scheduled depends on both clubs’ cup runs and any unforeseen events between now and then.
New Date Assigned
The rearranged date places this match near the end of the season, when both teams may be fighting for different objectives. Tottenham, under Ange Postecoglou, have shown flashes of promise but struggled for consistency against top-half rivals. Chelsea, under Enzo Maresca, have rebuilt into a more coherent unit. For supporters of either club, the May 17 date offers a target to circle on the calendar.
What this means: fixture rearrangements near the business end of a season can throw momentum off-balance. Both managers will need to factor this into their rotation plans.
Chelsea vs Tottenham last 10 games
When you zoom in on the last 10 Premier League encounters, Chelsea’s dominance becomes almost striking. According to StatMuse data, Chelsea have won 8 of those 10 matches, with just 1 draw and 1 loss (StatMuse). That’s not a close rivalry — it’s a one-sided affair dressed in derby clothes.
Last 5 Encounters
The last five meetings read like a Chelsea highlight reel:
- Chelsea 1-0 Tottenham — 04/02/2025
- Tottenham 3-4 Chelsea — 12/08/2024
- Chelsea 2-0 Tottenham — 05/02/2024
- Tottenham 1-4 Chelsea — 11/06/2023
- Tottenham 0-2 Chelsea — 02/26/2023
Win Patterns
Chelsea’s away record against Tottenham is particularly striking. In the 59-match dataset, Chelsea have won 16 times at Tottenham’s ground with 6 draws and 5 losses (SoccerPunter). Tottenham, meanwhile, have managed just 2 wins at home against Chelsea across a similar sample size.
Chelsea have won 8 of their last 10 Premier League matches against Tottenham. Tottenham’s home advantage has largely evaporated against this particular opponent.
The pattern: Tottenham perform worse against Chelsea than they do against comparable clubs. Whether it’s tactical, psychological, or simply bad matchup luck, the data doesn’t flatter Spurs.
Chelsea vs Tottenham results history since 2000
The modern era of this rivalry — post-2000 — has been defined by Chelsea’s transformation from mid-table club to serial winner, while Tottenham evolved from also-rans into consistent top-six finishers. The H2H record reflects that trajectory in raw numbers.
Key Matches
Several results stand out as inflection points:
- Chelsea 3-0 Tottenham — 09/19/2021 (Thiago Silva, Kanté, Rüdiger scored) (Sky Sports)
- Chelsea 2-2 Tottenham — 08/14/2022 (a rare share of the spoils)
- Tottenham 1-4 Chelsea — 11/06/2023 (Postecoglou’s first PL loss as Tottenham manager) (Sports Mole)
- Tottenham 3-4 Chelsea — 12/08/2024 (Cole Palmer broke a Premier League penalty record in this comeback) (Sports Mole)
Overall Record
Across all 180 meetings, Chelsea have won 82 times, Tottenham 56 times, with 42 draws (Sports Mole). The first competitive meeting came in December 1909 — a 2-1 Chelsea win in Division One — and the ledger has never truly been balanced since. Tottenham’s biggest historical win over Chelsea remains their 5-0 thrashing on October 9, 1920, a result that predates the modern Premier League era by over a century.
The catch: even when Tottenham have been at their strongest — under Mauricio Pochettino, under Harry Redknapp — they’ve struggled to convert that overall quality into consistent results against Chelsea. The rivalry has a psychological edge that the raw numbers only partially explain.
Why does Chelsea hate Spurs?
Football rivalries rarely have single origins — they accumulate over decades, fed by geography, trophy counts, and the specific moments that sting most. The Chelsea-Tottenham animosity is no different, and it’s worth understanding why one of London’s oldest clubs has this particular grudge against their north London neighbours.
Rivalry Origins
The geographical proximity is obvious: both clubs are based in Greater London, just miles apart. But proximity alone doesn’t explain the heat. What drives the bitterness is the asymmetry of success. Chelsea’s rapid rise from 1990s mid-table to multiple Premier League titles and European trophies created a rivalry of aspiration versus disappointment. Tottenham have been the club that “almost” — capable of brilliance, occasionally winning cups, but never quite converting that into sustained domestic dominance.
There’s also the Pochettino factor. When Mauricio Pochettino left Tottenham for Chelsea in 2023, it felt like a betrayal narrative to Spurs fans — a manager who had publicly declared his loyalty, then switched sides. He masterminded Chelsea’s 4-1 win over Tottenham in November 2023 (Sports Mole), which added fuel to an already combustible relationship.
Fan Dynamics
Chelsea fans have historically used the H2H record as a point of pride — a way to remind Tottenham supporters that, for all their possession and chances, results don’t lie. Tottenham fans, meanwhile, point to their trophy-less periods under Chelsea as evidence of unfair circumstances, crowd bias, or simple bad luck. The rivalry lives in that tension.
“One week before Christmas Day 1909, Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea met in a competitive match for the very first time, a Division One encounter that the Blues edged 2-1.”
— Sports Mole
Rodri (reportedly from Manchester City) was fined by the FA for comments about referees needing to be neutral — a controversy that briefly touched the wider football community, including this fixture’s officiating history.
It was Chelsea who condemned Ange Postecoglou to his maiden Premier League defeat in the Tottenham chair in November 2023.

Chelsea vs Tottenham head-to-head comparison
The numbers paint a stark picture of Tottenham’s struggles against Chelsea, with the away side historically outperforming expectations at the home venue.
| Metric | Chelsea | Tottenham |
|---|---|---|
| Overall H2H wins (180 matches) | 82 | 56 |
| Goals scored (59-match sample) | 105 | 62 |
| Home record vs opponent | 16W-6D-5L | 2W-4D-10L |
| Last 10 PL meetings | 8 wins, 1 draw, 1 loss | 1 win, 1 draw, 8 losses |
| Premier League H2H (45 meetings) | 25 wins | 8 wins |
The pattern is stark: Tottenham’s home advantage largely disappears against Chelsea. Their 2 wins in what should be a hostile environment for visitors tells the whole story.
What the managers bring to the fixture
Ange Postecoglou took charge of Tottenham with a reputation for attractive, attacking football — but his first Premier League loss in the Tottenham dugout came against Chelsea in November 2023, a 4-1 defeat that raised questions about his tactical approach against top-half opponents (Sports Mole).
Enzo Maresca, Chelsea’s manager since 2024, has brought a more structured approach — fewer defensive lapses, better game management in tight matches. His Chelsea beat Tottenham 1-0 in April 2025, a result that reflected his philosophy: control first, strike second.
Cole Palmer broke a Premier League penalty record in the December 2024 thriller. Under Maresca, Chelsea have become a team that wins ugly when needed — a quality that has cost Tottenham points repeatedly.
For Tottenham Hotspur, the challenge is clear: break the psychological and tactical spell Chelsea hold over this fixture, or keep watching the blue side celebrate. For Chelsea, the task is simpler — don’t let the standards slip against your most reliable Premier League opponent. The May 17, 2026 fixture at Stamford Bridge will test which ambition wins out.
