Tottenham once again fell short against their London rivals, as Chelsea extended their dominance in this fixture. But while the result was disappointing for Thomas Frank’s men, a few players still managed to stand out, for better or worse.Tottenham Hotspur have a poor record against Chelsea, with just one win in their last 18 encounters against the Blues.At the weekend, it was more of the same from Spurs, who suffered yet another defeat against their London rivals, with Chelsea now winning five straight meetings between both sides.Thomas Frank’s side were outplayed at home once more this season as Chelsea went on to compound Spurs’ dismal home form, where they have only won once all campaign.Still, there were a few winners and losers from that league fixture, and here are our picks.Credit: @thefrederikkejensen / InstagramGuglielmo Vicario catches the eye once more for TottenhamWell, there is no other place to start than with Guglielmo Vicario, who was easily the top performer in the entire match.Vicario made eight saves against Chelsea and prevented two certain goals according to the statistics, and had it not been for the Italian, it could well have been a derby day humiliation for Spurs.The 29-year-old has certainly handled criticism well following a few howlers earlier this campaign, and ever since the game against Leeds, he has been one of Tottenham’s most consistent players.To produce such a display right after Kinsky’s mistake during the midweek cup tie surely clears any doubts many might have had about the goalkeeper.Cristian Romero looked sharp on return from injuryTottenham have been managing an injury crisis and came into the Chelsea game without more than seven first-team players.However, as revealed before the encounter, a few key names were expected to return, including Cristian Romero, Destiny Udogie, and Wilson Odobert.All three featured against Chelsea, including club captain Romero, who looked impressive following his comeback. His passing was sharp, often looking to thread those trademark forward passes, and with him back in the side, Spurs’ build-up play should improve considerably.Wilson Odobert remains unchallenged on Tottenham left wingAs mentioned earlier, Odobert also made his return, having missed the encounter against Newcastle in midweek.He did not feature against Everton either, with Frank instead opting for a different tactical setup, but those who have come in for the Frenchman have yet to impress.Simons looks off it, while Tel and Brennan Johnson have not done anything notable, and it was the same story against Chelsea, with Frank later turning to Odobert for the final 17 minutes. It is quite clear now that the left-wing position is Odobert’s to lose.Now, let’s take a look at the three losers from Tottenham 0-1 Chelsea…Credit: n0mediaa / InstagramXavi Simons subbed on, then subbed offThe Dutchman has not impressed since his move to England, and this weekend’s performance was one of his poorest to date.Simons started on the bench but was introduced after just seven minutes following Lucas Bergvall’s withdrawal due to a concussion substitution.It was a rare opportunity for the 22-year-old to announce himself to the Tottenham faithful in a derby clash, but that was not the case. Simons was subbed on only to be subbed off again after 66 minutes, which will do little to help his confidence.Pape Matar Sarr disappoints after long-awaited startTottenham were poor on the night, and virtually every player bar the goalkeeper could have been included in this list of losers.However, for Pape Matar Sarr, it was slightly different given the context of his inclusion. The Senegal international had made a strong start to the season, impressing with his pressing and goal contributions.Fans and journalists alike have been asking Thomas Frank why the midfielder has not been given more opportunities, only for Frank to insist there was nothing behind his omission. Sarr finally got his chance but failed to take it, offering little in attack and showing none of the energy or pressing intensity he is known for. Very poor from him.Micky van de Ven below his usual standards at TottenhamFresh from a brace in the league last time out against Everton, Micky van de Ven had set the bar high with his performances this season.However, Saturday highlighted some of his limitations, particularly when playing with the ball at his feet.Van de Ven’s sloppiness while trying to play out from the back allowed Moises Caicedo to pinch possession, and that was an opportunity the Chelsea midfielder was never going to pass up. It is certainly not typical of van de Ven, who will be keen to bounce back quickly, but there was a clear drop in his standards.READ MORE: Guglielmo Vicario tells Tottenham Hotspur teammates ‘we must improve’ in three key areasThe post Three winners and three losers from Tottenham's shocking 1-0 defeat to Chelsea - Opinion appeared first on Spurs Web.
