  "account": "Tottenham Hotspur have secured their highest league position in over two months after a 2-0 victory over Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. The win marks the club's first consecutive wins in 42 attempts, since their previous success on 2 January. James Maddison and Mathys Tel were instrumental in the win, showing impressive performances and controlled possession at 68% - the highest since April 2025. Tottenham's manager, Roberto De Zerbi, attributes the team's positive change to his management style, insisting they have improved player relationships and bolstered their performance. Former Chelsea goalkeeper Rob Green praised the team's control and composure on the ball. Despite injuries and setbacks, including Maddison's injury, the team's momentum appears to be picking up, with fans feeling a renewed sense of optimism.",
