    Thiago Silva put Chelsea ahead early in the second half before N'Golo Kante bagged his first club goal since December 2019. Antonio Rudiger rounded off Chelsea's dominant display with a stoppage-time strike as Thomas Tuchel's latest tactical masterclass paid rich dividends. Tuchel's unbeaten side sit top of the Premier League after winning four of their first five games.

    Chelsea have only conceded one league goal so far this season despite a tricky fixture list that featured trips to Liverpool, Tottenham and Arsenal. They face another test of their title credentials next weekend when champions Manchester City visit Stamford Bridge. It was fitting that two of Greaves' old clubs met on the day he passed away aged 81.

    Hailed as "the finest marksman this country has ever seen" by Tottenham, Greaves is the club's record scorer with 266 goals in 379 appearances between 1961 and 1970. The charismatic Londoner started his career with a prolific spell at Chelsea and netted 44 times in 57 appearances for England, featuring in their 1966 World Cup-winning squad.

    An image of Greaves wearing Tottenham's famous white shirt was displayed on screens inside and outside the club's north London stadium before kick-off. In a moving tribute, several former Tottenham greats, including Greaves' old team-mate Martin Chivers, lined up on the touchline to join both teams and the 62,000 crowd in a minute's applause.

    "Jimmy was an incredible player, a legend for club and country. It's frightening really how good he was," said Tottenham striker Harry Kane, who is second behind Greaves with 223 goals for the club.

    Clinical instincts

    Kane had urged Tottenham to "put in a great performance" in Greaves' honour. But the England captain was unable to land his first league goal this season as Chelsea showed the kind of ruthless instincts Greaves would have approved of. In a tight first half, Chelsea's Andreas Christensen shot just over from the edge of the area before Kai Havertz poked narrowly wide after Marcos Alonso's cross caused chaos in the Tottenham defence.

    With Chelsea keeper Edouard Mendy absent after complaining of a hip injury in midweek Champions League win over Zenit St Petersburg, Kepa Arrizabalaga made his first start this season. Tottenham's frenetic tempo meant Kepa had to stay alert and he rushed off his line to save bravely at Son Heung-min's feet after the South Korean sprinted onto Giovani Lo Celso's pass.

    In a game-changing move, Tuchel sent on France midfielder Kante for Mason Mount at half-time, neutralising Tottenham's high press in the process. Where Chelsea had found it hard to take control before Kante's introduction, now they were in the groove and Silva struck in the 49th minute. Alonso's corner found the Brazilian eight yards out and he rose above Dele Alli to thump a superb header past Hugo Lloris.

    It took Eric Dier's agile goal-line clearance to deny Chelsea a second when the defender blocked Alonso's close-range strike from Cesar Azpilicueta's pass.

    But Chelsea were rampant and they struck again in the 57th minute when Kante's 25-yard drive took a wicked deflection off Dier and trickled past the wrong-footed Lloris.

    Tottenham lost heart as their second successive league defeat loomed and Rudiger rubbed salt into the wounds with a fine finish from Timo Werner's cross in the final moments.
