79'
Dier is back on the pitch. That was a really odd situation.
78'
A strange moment in the match as Dier races off the pitch and down the tunnel, followed swiftly by his manager, as Spurs are temporarily down to 10 men!
77'
Over! Chelsea carve Spurs open at the back but Hudson-Odoi spurns the opportunity as he curls it over the bar from the edge of the box.
76'
Changes from both sides, as Moura comes on for Bergwijn, while Abraham is on for Giroud.
73'
Chance! Werner has an opportunity to seal the deal for Chelsea! Bergwijn slips as Kante feeds Mount. He switches it to Werner who is allowed the space for a shot, but it's straight down the middle for Lloris who smothers.
72'
Reguilon heads wide from Aurier's cross and still Mendy hasn't really been tested on his Chelsea debut.
71'
Spurs sub: Here he comes then, Kane is on for Tanganga as Mourinho throws caution to the wind in search of an equaliser.
69'
Ooohh, a nervous moment for Mendy as he comes for a corner delivery and fails to claim it.
68'
Tottenham have the visitors penned in at the moment. Aurier slips as he gets a shot away and it takes a deflection off Werner for a corner.
65'
Chelsea sub: Chilwell's full debut comes to an end as he makes way for Emerson.
63'
Spurs sub: Fernandes is replaced by Hojbjerg, who will take up a central midfield position, with Ndombele moving to the left.
61'
Yellow card! And now Tanganga is cautioned for pulling back Mount.

59'
Yellow card! Aurier goes into the book for a foul on Jorginho.
58'
Over! Chelsea's turn to threaten now, with Azpilicueta seeing his shot rise over the bar from distance.
56'
Tottenham waste a corner opportunity, playing it shot, after Bergwijn had done well to win the set-piece.
54'
This is much, much better from Spurs. Bergwijn is involved as they work a nice move, with Aurier bending a left-footed shot wide. And moments later Bergwijn goes down inside the box following contact from Chilwell, but Lee Mason isn't interested in any Tottenham penalty appeals.
50'
Chance! A good chance opens up for Reguilon to score on his Tottenham debut as he finds space on the edge of the penalty area to meet Aurier's cut-back, but he shoots straight at Mendy, who pushes it away.
49'
Over! Bergwijn wriggles free on the right and blasts a rising shot at goal, and it's just over the bar. Much more urgency from Spurs already in the second-half, though.
47'
Tottenham are pressing Chelsea's defence which is something we didn't see in the entire first half.
46'
Kick-off! There are no changes at the break, which is something of a surprise from Tottenham's point of view, as the second-half gets underway.

Forget Werner's goal - this was the highlight of the first-half!
