Big screens goals
As the build-up to the game ramped up in the final minutes before the teams emerged, the four enormous screens at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium began showing goal after goal.
Only for this occasion they were showing some of the greatest Spurs strikes of recent years against Chelsea.
The idea in principle was a good one, to inspire the crowd and emerging players with examples of what they've done before. The inspiration fell on deaf ears when it came to the players though.
That Alderweireld cheer
The crowd certainly were psyched up for the match and the noise ahead of kick-off was ear-splitting.
As the stadium announcer ran through the names of the Tottenham team, each got their own cheer as normal.
However, when it came to Toby Alderweireld, the Belgian, fresh from signing his new deal until 2023, received the biggest and prolonged cheer of all from the record 61,104 crowd inside the stadium.
Remembering Martin with that line of legends
Football lost one of its greats this week with the death of Martin Peters.
The World Cup winner was a Tottenham and West Ham legend and he is remembered fondly for his exploits at White Hart Lane.
Ahead of kick off, before the announcement had even finished, the stadium full of fans began applauding in memory of the 76-year-old and it lasted much longer than the planned minute, with chants of his name.
What was even more poignant was the line of Tottenham stars from the past, who stood by the side of the pitch, just to the right of dugouts, in their club suits applauding a man for who many was a friend and team-mate.
Serge Aurier being Serge Aurier
This was more about moments than a single instance as Serge Aurier decided that right-back just wasn't really for him yesterday. Some Tottenham fans had perhaps already decided that.
The Ivorian spent much of his time marooned in the Chelsea half, slowly ambling back to his own half. If you watch highlights of some of the Blues' attacks you'll see him eventually walking back into shot at the edge of your screen.
The Ivory Coast captain even recreated his infamous moment against Bayern at home when he simply stayed up the pitch in a number 10 role, allowing everyone else to do his job for him. This time it came in the first half, not even as Spurs were chasing the game late on.
Danny Rose's post-match moment
Danny Rose has played in many a London derby and the result of this one hit him hard.
The left-back entered the fray in the final 15 minutes of normal time, replacing Jan Vertonghen, but he was unable to influence matters.
When the final whistle blew, he remained out on the pitch for a long time, looking sadly around the stadium, no doubt contemplating everything that had happened on the night with the problems on and off the pitch.
Rose might not be in the form he once was, but he certainly cares about the football club.
