Match Details
Tottenham started the match trying to pressure Chelsea, and Tuchel went to try to reduce the Son and Kane double.
James was specialized in monitoring Son, while Kante was heading to try to clamp down on Harry Kane to prevent him from falling into the middle of the field and playing long passes.
Tuchel relied on creating a numerical increase in the midfield to not give Tottenham the opportunity to play comfortably without pressing early, which forced Son and Kulusevsky to back down to support the two midfield players and thus move away from the Chelsea goal.
The first chance of the match came in the 18th minute after a kick from Kanti and a pass to Sterling, who paved the ball for Harverters to shoot from inside the penalty area and Lloris saved it.
Two minutes later, Kokoria played a cross from a fixed ball, which Coulibaly hit hard into the net.
Tottenham responded with a long pass from Harry Kane to Sessegnon, who was alone with Mendy and hit it to save the Senegalese goalkeeper.
9 minutes before the end of the first half, Mount missed the opportunity for the second goal after an incursion and a powerful shot that came over the crossbar.
Tottenham started the second half strongly, with Harry Kane taking advantage of Son's breakthrough and passing to the South Korean, who did not manage to find the ball in the net, to be saved by Mendy.
Conte intervened with an attacking change in the 58th minute, with newcomer Richarlison replacing Ryan Sessegnon.
Four minutes later, Harry Kane missed the opportunity to equalize after an explicit goal by Mendy to hit the post.
Tottenham's equalizing goal came in the 68th minute after Hojbjerg's ground kick from outside the penalty area.
A goal that angered Tuchel and the Chelsea staff, causing a clash between the two teams.
Tuchel then decided to enter Cesar Azpilicueta in Georgino's place to unleash Reese James, who set out to score the second goal in the 77th minute, taking advantage of Davis' poor coverage to score Chelsea's second goal.
A goal that Tuchel celebrated strongly against Antonio Conte.
James scored six goals and assisted nine more in 28 games since the start of last season, more than any other defender.
Conte made two changes immediately after the goal, with Yves Pesuma and Ivan Perisic replacing Rodrigo Bentancur and Son Heung-min.
Then Lucas Moura took the place of Emerson Royal.
Tuchel responded by entering the duo of Conor Gallagher and Christian Pulisic in the place of N'Golo Kante, who had a hamstring injury, and Raheem Sterling.
Before Armando Bruya came in for Kai Havertz after the latter missed an easy opportunity from inside the penalty area after a Christian Pulisic pass.
And Mendy starred in front of Eric Dier's header in the fifth minute of overtime.
Another cross from Perisic, Harry Kane successfully climbed into the net this time in the last minute.
Kane scored his 184th goal in the league, equaling Sergio Aguero's number in fourth place for historical scorers.
Harry Kane's 42nd goal in the London derby is one goal ahead of Thierry Henry, the top scorer.
And the duo Tuchel and Conte returned to the clash again after the match, after Tuchel asked Conte to look at him during the handshake, so that the referee issued a red card for the duo.
The match is the eighth for Tuchel against Tottenham without any loss, seven victories and one draw.
Chelsea will host Leeds United in the third round of the league, while Tottenham will play Wolverhampton at Al-Awwal Stadium.
