Pochettino delighted as Dele double ends Spurs long wait for win at Chelsea

Chelsea enjoyed most of the chances before the break, but needed Lloris’s help to open the scoring.

Morata hadn’t scored in the Premier League since Boxing Day, but no one has scored more headed goals in the league this season and he was left with the easiest of tasks to nod into an empty net as Lloris flapped at Victor Moses’s cross.

However, Chelsea couldn’t hold their lead until the break as in first-half stoppage time the ever dangerous Eriksen took aim from 25 yards and his fierce dipping effort clipped the bar on its way past Willy Caballero.

Just after the hour mark Spurs then led when Alli brilliantly controlled Eric Dier’s long pass before slotting inside Caballero’s near post.

Alli soon had a second as Spurs set the seal in a hugely symbolic win.

Son Heung-min was twice denied by Caballero but Alli pounced on the pinball inside the Chelsea area before slotting into the bottom corner.
