Chelsea have only conceded one league goal so far this season despite a tricky fixture list that featured trips to Liverpool, Tottenham and Arsenal.
They face another test of their title credentials next weekend when champions Manchester City visit Stamford Bridge.
It was fitting that two of Greavesâ old clubs met on the day he passed away aged 81.
Hailed as âthe finest marksman this country has ever seenâ by Tottenham, Greaves is the clubâs record scorer with 266 goals in 379 appearances between 1961 and 1970.
The charismatic Londoner started his career with a prolific spell at Chelsea and netted 44 times in 57 appearances for England, featuring in their 1966 World Cup-winning squad.
An image of Greaves wearing Tottenhamâs famous white shirt was displayed on screens inside and outside the clubâs north London stadium before kick-off.
In a moving tribute, several former Tottenham greats, including Greavesâ old team-mate Martin Chivers, lined up on the touchline to join both teams and the 62,000 crowd in a minuteâs applause.
âJimmy was an incredible player, a legend for club and country. Itâs frightening really how good he was,â said Tottenham striker Harry Kane, who is second behind Greaves with 223 goals for the club.
