Enzo Fernandez couldn’t hide his delight as Chelsea fans mocked Tottenham after another victory over their London rivals.
The Argentina international headed home Cole Palmer’s cross to seal a 1-0 victory for the Blues, a result which moves them into fourth in the race for Champions League qualification.
The result piles more misery on Spurs who are hopelessly marooned in 14th place.
During the game, manager Ange Postecoglou appeared to goal fans after his substitutions were met with chants of ‘you don’t know what you’re doing’ with travelling supporters furiously booing players who approached the away end at full-time.
Chelsea fans meanwhile revelled in their rivals’ suffering.
Thursday’s victory was their fourth in a row over Tottenham having also beaten them home and away last season with the chant of ‘Tottenham get battered everywhere they go’ ringing around Stamford Bridge.
Sky Sports cameras picked up one section of fans belting out the chant with the camera then cutting to Fernandez in the dugout having been replaced by Kieran Dewsbury-Hall moments earlier.
With a broad smile on his face, Fernandez was seen bobbing his head along to the chant, enjoying the moment to wind up the opposition supporters.
Fernandez was also on the score sheet in the thrilling 4-3 win at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in December.
The 1-0 victory didn’t truly reflect Chelsea’s dominance of the game with 12 minutes of injury time setting up a nervy finale with Spurs also having a goal ruled out earlier in the contest.
Enzo Maresca admitted his side had to try their hand at ‘playing dirty’ to ensure there was no late drama.
‘I just said to the players that we don’t work every day to win games in the way we did, or play in the way we did in the last ten minutes, in terms of waiting for them and giving the ball to them,’ Maresca said post-match.
‘But if you want to become a team, you also have to learn to play the way we did in the last ten minutes, to win a game in a dirty way.
‘I think for 90 minutes, until added time, we were in control, we created enough chances to win the game.’
Chelsea return to Premier League action away to Brentford on Sunday.
