Spurs deservedly scored two goals in the first 16 minutes through midfielder Dele Alli’s flicked header from Christian Eriksen’s cross, and Harry Kane firing in a drive from long range.

Son Heung-min had struck straight at goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga when through on goal, and saw a volley pushed away before scoring a brilliant goal in the second half.

Chelsea did manage to pull a goal back with five minutes remaining through substitute Olivier Giroud’s powerful header low into the corner.

Manchester City are 7 points clear of Chelsea and 14 points clear of Manchester United after 13 games, following their 4-0 win over West Ham, recording eighth consecutive victory in all competitions and remain two points above Liverpool in the Premier League.
