FANS of both Tottenham and Chelsea will be trying to piece together exactly what happened in North London last night.<\/p>\n
The Blues 4-1 win was one of the most uniquely entertaining games in Premier League history.<\/p>\n
Amid what felt like an unprecedented volume of VAR reviews, the hosts went down to nine men and continued to persist with the highest of defensive lines.<\/p>\n
Ange Postecoglou's men shaped up in a 7-0-1 formation at times and the visitors were seemingly confused by the abnormality of it all as they fell into a frustrating pattern of offsides and over-hit throughballs before they eventually capitalised on the advantageous dynamic.<\/p>\n
PLAY SCORE PREDICTOR AHEAD OF THIS WEEKEND'S ACTION – SOMEBODY MUST WIN AN XBOX SERIES X!<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Let's unpack the madness from a Dream Team perspective as there's plenty for gaffers to mull over.<\/p>\n Nicolas Jackson (\u00a32.7m) was the big winner when all was said and done as he bagged his first professional hat-trick for a 21-point return.<\/p>\n However, the Senegal international made hard work of what should have been easy pickings.<\/p>\n Usually, a hat-trick would trigger a tidal wave of transfers in Dream Team but viewers of the game are unlikely to have been impressed with what the saw from the striker – a remarkable sentiment for a player who took home the match ball!<\/p>\n Jackson is due to face Manchester City and Newcastle in his next two games and, unless those teams also go down to nine men in similarly catastrophic fashion, he' s unlikely to benefit from such a fortuitous situation again.<\/p>\n <\/picture>KING’S STAMP <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/picture>HEIR MILES <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/picture>READY TO RUMBA <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/picture>GONE TOO SOON <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n At the time of writing, the 22-year-old is the joint-top performer in Gameweek 11 alongside Jeremy Doku (\u00a33.9m) but it's probably fair to say the latter will be considerably more popular among Dream Team managers this week.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n It was a nightmarish evening for Spurs' defence.<\/p>\n Cristian Romero (\u00a33.7m) was among the best-performing assets in his position prior to Gameweek 11 but the Argentine centre-back's red card meant he ultimately registered -5 points – yes, minus five!<\/p>\n And of course the World Cup winner will now be suspended for Spurs' next three fixtures, meaning he won't return until December 7th.<\/p>\n Postecoglou is likely to be without Van de Ven for even longer as the Dutchman pulled up with what looked like a serious hamstring injury.<\/p>\n The 22-year-old, who has been one of the best defenders in the league this term, could hardly walk as he left the pitch.<\/p>\n Destiny Udogie (\u00a32.9m) joined Romero in an early bath for two blatant lunges worthy of yellow cards – Gary Neville on commentary said the young Italian was lucky to avoid a straight red for his first offence.<\/p>\n The energetic left-back will only miss one game through suspension but his Dream Team viability took a big hit when he registered minus four points on Monday night.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Then there's the question mark over James Maddison's (\u00a34.4m) fitness.<\/p>\n Spurs' No10 remains the third-best midfielder in Dream Team at the time of writing but he was forced off before half time with a knock.<\/p>\n Postecoglou talked down the issue after the game so it may be that the in-form playmaker is available to face Wolves in Gameweek 12 but gaffers await further updates.<\/p>\n This is a major plot point to monitor in the realm of Dream Team as Maddison is the game's second-most selected player with an ownership of 43%.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Switching focus back to Chelsea, Cole Palmer (\u00a32.8m) continues to impress for his new club.<\/p>\n Results have improved since Mauricio Pochettino installed the former Man City youngster as starting right winger with the 21-year-old also jumping the queue to become first-choice penalty taker.<\/p>\n He converted from the spot to equalise at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium and he assisted Jackson's third goal to pocket 12 points by full time.<\/p>\nMost read in Dream Team<\/h2>\n
