It wasn’t the best of evenings for Jose Mourinho or the increasingly disgruntled Tottenham fanbase, though FST certainly cashed in on Spurs’ 1-0 reverse at home to London rivals Chelsea on Thursday.

We had picked out a whopping 45/1 #OddsOnThat selection on Betfair in the lead up to the crunch clash in the capital, and our five-fold hit the mark on a cagey night in North London!

Check out how we landed our latest big win below!

FST lands 45/1 #OddsOnThat bet!

Our selection

Chelsea to win
Under 3.5 goals
Mason Mount and Timo Werner 2+ shots each
Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg booked
Under 4.5 Tottenham Hotspur corners

Here is how it went down:

Chelsea were unbeaten in four previous meetings with Spurs, and with new manager enthusiasm coursing their players’ veins, it made sense to back a Blues win in Thursday’s London Derby.

A glance at recent head-to-heads between the clubs showed that under 2.5 goals had landed in four of the teams’ last five encounters, and with Harry Kane’s absence key, we didn’t envisage a deluge of goals hitting the net.

We gave ourselves a bit of a cushion by going for the under 3.5 goals option, and Chelsea’s slender 1-0 triumph kept our #OddsOnThat on the right track.

We watched on with interest last week, when Mason Mount and Timo Werner carried plenty of goal threat for Chelsea when deployed in new roles under Tuchel against Burnley.

The pair racked up four and three attempts against the Clarets respectively, and the dynamic duo hit three shots each against Spurs after we backed them to shine again.

Combative midfielder Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg tackled his way into the book for Spurs after we tipped the Dane to throw his weight around, while Chelsea’s dominance of the ball under Tuchel so far, pushed us to predict that Spurs would have little chance to win corners without possession.

Tottenham won just two corners during their limp 90 minutes in North London, and our 45/1 #OddsOnThat landed as a result!
