Chelsea moved up to fourth in the Premier League, level on points with Tottenham Hotspur, after the Blues claimed London derby bragging rights with a 1-0 victory at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Joao Pedro grabbed the only goal of the game mid-way through the first-half following some questionable Spurs defending and saw out the remainder of the game to take all three points.

Pedro impressed at Brighton and has shone at the start of his Chelsea career so far, playing a key role for Enzo Maresca's side as they won the Club World Cup in the summer. Numerous outlets have the Brazilian's transfer fee at just 60m, and though he's not as good as Isak, it's also surely a bit crazy to argue that the Sweden international is worth more than double.

Perhaps the biggest insult for Fulham was that the first half was still going on when Chelsea finally broke through. They were into the ninth minute of added time when Enzo Fernandez delivered a corner, Joao Pedro leapt to score and Marco Silva was forced to accept that the footballing Gods were not on his side, but this is where the game is these days.
