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.
