• Trevoh Chalobah scored as Chelsea did the double over Tottenham
• His header set the tone for a 2-0 win for Mauricio Pochettino's men
• He also waxed spiritual with his goal celebration at Stamford Bridge

Trevoh Chalobah ended his goal-scoring drought in the Premier League this season with a header against Tottenham Hotspur, contributing to Chelsea's impressive victory over their London rivals.

The 22-year-old's goal, combined with Nicolas Jackson's effort, bolstered the Blues' pursuit of European football while denting Tottenham's hopes for a Champions League spot.

The goal sparked a lengthy Video Assistant Referee review for a potential block by Chelsea's Marc Cucurella on Brennan Johnson during the buildup, but the goal stood.

How did Chalobah celebrate against Spurs?

After scoring, the Englishman opted for a spiritual celebration. He revealed a shirt beneath his jersey with the words: "Jehovah's son."

Per Transfermarkt, this was his first goal since October 3, 2022, against Norwich in the 2021-22 season, during which he scored three goals in 20 appearances.

What's next for Chalobah and Chelsea?

Following his contribution to Chelsea's first clean sheet and victory since the 6-0 triumph over Everton on April 15, Chalobah aims to maintain defensive solidity against another London rival on Sunday, May 5.

The Blues are set to face West Ham United at Stamford Bridge, aiming for consecutive Premier League victories for the first time since December last year when they defeated Crystal Palace and Luton Town in successive matches.

Postecoglou rips into Spurs players

Chalobah's goal triggered Tottenham Hotspur manager, Ange Postecoglou, to unleash an unusual tirade against his players at Stamford Bridge, as reported by Sports Brief.

Cameras captured Postecoglou berating his players shortly after Chalobah's goal.

Chelsea's dominance thereafter seemed to exacerbate the frustration of the Greek-Australian manager, who appeared distinctly displeased with his team's performance.
