North London was blue once again on Thursday as Chelsea enjoyed another fine performance on the road against Tottenham Hotspur, who are tied with one other club for most home defeats suffered against the Blues in the Premier League.

Jorginho’s first-half penalty secured the points as we maintained our perfect league record at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, which opened its doors two years ago, following a 2-0 victory on our inaugural visit last season.

With 10 Premier League wins at White Hart Lane and a 2-1 triumph in a 2017 encounter at their temporary home at Wembley, we now have 13 away victories against Spurs in the competition, matching our record of success against Southampton.

Our record against the Saints is perhaps more remarkable as it has come in only 21 games, eight fewer than we have played against Tottenham in the Premier League. Four victories were at The Dell while nine have been recorded at St Mary’s Stadium including our current run of five consecutive wins since 2016.

Manchester City are third on our list of away successes with 12 although they have improved their record in recent years with three wins on the bounce against us since they were beaten 3-1 at the Eithad Stadium in 2016.

Rounding out the top five are West Ham United and Aston Villa, who have each been beaten in 11 home games by Chelsea in the Premier League. They are closely followed by Everton and Sunderland, who have lost 10 games each.

Of the 49 teams that have played in the Premier League since 1992, only three have avoided home losses against us. Bradford City and Oldham Athletic did so in two campaigns while Ipswich Town managed it in five with four matches at Portman Road ending in draws.
