The victory moved them back into fourth position in the Premier League and increasing their chances of qualifying for the Champions League again.

In front of England coach Thomas Tuchel at Stamford Bridge, Fernandez was left unmarked to head home in the 50th minute after Cole Palmer’s flawless cross.

The England attacker was making his comeback from a brief injury hiatus.

Moises Caicedo’s volley was disallowed after a VAR check for offside, but Chelsea believed they had a second goal shortly after.

Chelsea coach Enzo Maresca roared to the heavens and hugged his coaching staff at the final whistle in a visible sign of relief after a patchy run which included a limp 1-0 defeat by Arsenal in his side’s last league match.

Spurs, who failed to register a shot on target in the first half for a second match in a row, could have stolen a point in the 89th minute but Chelsea goalkeeper Robert Sanchez flung himself across his goal to deny Son Heung-min at the far post.

Spurs supporters voiced their frustration at the club’s ownership and at coach Ange Postecoglou who appeared to mock their protests when he cupped his hand to his ear when it seemed Sarr had drawn his side level.
