Tottenham ended a 28-year hoodoo and won for the first time at Stamford Bridge in the Premier League era to all but end Chelsea’s hopes of qualifying for next season’s Champions League.
Alvaro Morata opened the scoring for the Blues and it was just reward for a first half in which Antonio Conte’s side attacked with impressive panache and limited their visitors to very few goalscoring opportunities.
The game changed right on half-time when Christian Eriksen scored an absolute stunner to ensure the sides went in level at the break.
That was only the first memorable moment of an afternoon that saw Dele Alli go on to silence the growing number of critics after his fringe role on England duty with an outstanding double-strike to win the game 3-1.
That was not the last action of the match that caught the eye of the away fans and Belgian defender Jan Vertonghen – valued at £28.8m by Transfermarkt – added some glee for Spurs supporters.
