The pair made sure the blues came from behind to secure all three points from a tightly contested derby to end Spurs twelve game unbeaten streak and maintain a seven game winning streak that started back in October.

Eriksen's strike after ten minutes only seemed to serve as a warning the blues heeded to raise their game to secure maximum points and ensure that our neighbor rivals has never won at the Bridge since 1990.

Antonio Conte named an unchanged XI for the sixth consecutive game running while Spurs made only two changes to the team that started their midweek defeat to Monaco. Another defeat though seemed unlikely while Eriksen struck the top corner to give our visitors the lead,the first goal Chelsea has conceded in 500+ minutes of topflight football.

The blues however kept calm trying to play the ball out of the back,something that has become characteristic since Conte came around but a new approach to the game got us our first corner after Moses attempted cross was blocked by Vertonghen.Series of Chelsea attacks ensued and we were back on level term just before the break.Pedro collected a through ball from Matic before an explicit turn set him up perfectly to curl a fine strike into the far right corner past the outstretched hands of Hugo.
That would set the tune for a comeback into second half as Victor Moses popped up to finish a pass across the face of the goal by the effective Costa.The game could have been buried had Alonso steered home another Costa pass but the left wing back opted to use his weaker foot and skewed it well over.

Thibaut Courtois denied Kane,Eriksen and Walker as the visitors sought a way back into the game but disciplined defending ensured we move back to the top of the pile after Liverpool and our next opponents Man City won their games earlier in the day.

Well Done Blues!
Derby Victory!
