Chelsea have returned to the top of the English Premier League table after coming from behind at Stamford Bridge to dent Tottenham’s unbeaten streak in the league.
Spurs looked on course to recover from their midweek Champions League exit when Christian Eriksen’s superb 11th minute strike put them in front.
Mauricio Pochettino’s side were completely dominant until the closing seconds of the first half when Pedro curled in a spectacular right-foot effort to draw Chelsea level.
And Spurs’ miserable record at Stamford Bridge was extended to 30 games without a win – dating back to February 1990 – after Victor Moses scored what proved to be the winner six minutes after the restart.
Spurs keeper, Hugo Lloris and Jan Vertonghen both got touches on Moses’ goal-bound strike but the ball flew in as Chelsea recorded a seventh league victory in succession.
Chelsea boss, Antonio Conte said: “I am satisfied with the way we fought back. These games are difficult. It was a tough game with a lot of intensity.
“Tottenham started well. It’s not easy to go down 1-0 but I am pleased with the performance and reaction. Now it’s important to continue the work.
“It’s too early to talk of the title. This league is very tough. Tottenham showed in this league there are six or seven teams that can win the title. It’s important to continue in this way and improve the confidence.”
Tottenham boss, Mauricio Pochettino said: “If we analyse the game we were better. We competed very well and we were a bit unlucky to concede…never 1-1 at half-time. The second half we conceded a goal very early.
“We are disappointed but we need to be pleased for the performance and the way we competed against a very good team.”
