Chelsea leapt above Newcastle United and Manchester City to return to the Premier League's top four by beating Tottenham Hotspur 1-0 at Stamford Bridge. Enzo Fernandez's header early in the second half was the difference, with Moises Caicedo and Pape Matar Sarr each seeing goals disallowed by VAR.

Express Sport runs through the Chelsea player ratings from a crucial win against their bitter rivals.

Chelsea player ratings vs Tottenham

Robert Sanchez: 6

Very lucky Pape Matar Sarr fouled Nicolas Jackson before rifling a very saveable shot towards him from range. Then rescued the three points with a superb save from Son Heung-min's late strike.

Malo Gusto: 7

A constant attacking outlet on each flank. At 21, Chelsea have a quality full-back option for years to come if he can stay fit.

Trevoh Chalobah: 6

Got into the derby day spirit in a bust-up involving Rodrigo Bentancur and Cristian Romero. Helped the hosts keep an important clean sheet.

Levi Colwill: 5

Didn't produce anything spectacular and lost all of his five duels.

Marc Cucurella: 6

Not as much of attacking threat as he usually is but didn't give Wilson Odobert a sniff before the Spurs winger was hauled off on the hour mark.

Moises Caicedo: 8

Best player on the pitch and was robbed of a spectacular volley that would've put the cherry on the cake by a VAR intervention. Found a Chelsea man with all five long balls, won eight of his nine ground duels and maintained a 93 per cent pass accuracy.

Enzo Fernandez: 7

The match-winner. Cole Palmer's pinpoint cross created the goal but Fernandez's movement afforded him a free header, which he made no mistake with.

Pedro Neto: 6

Drew three fouls and created two chances. A lively outing. He's interestingly taken set-piece duties from Palmer.

Cole Palmer: 7

Notched his first assist since December with one of the two chances he crafted. Wasn't as involved as he tends to be, often drifting out wide, but showed glimpses of a return to form.

Jadon Sancho: 4

Unfortunate not to have fired Chelsea ahead. Denied by a marvellous Guglielmo Vicario save late in the first half. Other than that, did nothing of substance.

Nicolas Jackson: 3

His best contribution was drawing the foul from Sarr before the Spurs midfielder's disallowed equaliser. Ineffective up front. Touched the ball 25 times and squandered the one good chance that fell his way.

Substitutes

Noni Madueke: 5

Was just as ghostly as the player he replaced, Jadon Sancho.

Reece James: 6

Enzo Maresca is taking no risks with his fitness.

Tosin Adarabioyo: 6

Helped hold onto the lead in the 12 minutes of stoppage time.

Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall: 6

Replaced Fernandez on 91 minutes.
