In the first half, Pedro Neto assisted Enzo's goal in the 17th minute, giving Chelsea the lead. In the 67th minute of the second half, Pedro Neto orchestrated an attack, and Andrea Santos received a cross from Enzo in the penalty area before firing a low shot into the net, helping Chelsea maintain a 2-0 lead over Tottenham Hotspur.
In the 74th minute, Sarr made a diagonal pass from the penalty area, and Richarlison slotted the ball into the net, helping Tottenham Hotspur pull one back from 1-2.
Chelsea ultimately defeated Tottenham Hotspur 2-1 in this London derby. After a run of 1 win, 1 draw, and 3 losses in their last 5 matches, Chelsea currently sits in 8th place in the league table with 52 points.
Chelsea midfielder Andre Santos, 22, said: "This is really special for me because it's my first goal in the Premier League, and it's in my first game against Tottenham Hotspur. I'm very happy because we won the game, and now we have to focus on the last game."
"The chance to qualify for Europe still exists. I know it's a bit difficult, but we must do our job. There's one game left in the league, and we must double our efforts to win it."
André Santos shared, "I'm so happy with my performance. After the match, I checked my phone and my wife texted me to ask what was wrong. I replied that I didn't know either, but I was just so happy, and I hope this happens more often."
"The atmosphere here is really great because we need the support of the fans. I know the situation is a bit difficult for everyone right now, but the atmosphere at this game is truly incredible."
André Santos said, "I specifically asked some people beforehand how important this game is in this area. When we played away, I even asked Reece James, and he explained the significance of this game to me. And I scored in this game, and we won."
“I think this club opened the door to Europe for me. I joined Chelsea when I was 18, and it changed my life. At that time, I was playing in the Brazilian second division, and it’s not easy to come directly to the Premier League. I was then loaned to Nottingham Forest and Strasbourg, but now I’m back, and I’m very happy to be here. Being able to play for Chelsea is like a dream come true for me and my family.”
Premier League legend Xabi Alonso is set to take charge of Chelsea. Speaking about the new manager, André Santos said, "Xabi Alonso is a top manager and a legend. He used to play the same position as me, so I have to work even harder. We will give our all to finish this season, and then we'll see what happens in the summer."
