-
93'FT: Chelsea 2-0 Tottenham Hotspur. A slightly unorthodox end to the game with a Trippier own goal and scrap between Kane and David Luiz. However, a win is a win and Chelsea will happily claim the three points at home - especially the manager!

-
85 'GOOOAAAALLL CHELSEA!!! After a miscommunication between Kieran Trippier and Hugo Lloris, the right-back passes the ball into his own net. Lloris came to collect while Trippier passed it back, thinking his keeper was on his line. Not the end Mauricio Pochettino had in mind...

-
45'We're back for the second-half! Who will break the deadlock first...
-
45'HT: Chelsea 0-0 Tottenham Hotspur. We go into the break level as neither side capitalised on their chances. Higuain and Winks both came extremely close as they clattered the woodwork with their efforts. Those would be the biggest chance of the first-half for both teams and both managers will want more from their men after the break. Stay tuned!
-
45'One minute of added time.

-
42'Kane picks it up on the edge of the box and winds up for a shot but Azpilicueta puts in a crucial sliding block.

39'CHELSEA CHANCE - Kante has a go from long range but it is way off target and the teams have a chance to resettle with a Spurs goal-kick.
-
33'Lamela finds himself with the ball in the box but he can't quite get it out of his feet before Rudiger is there to intercept.
-
31'Pedro chases back to retrieve possession for Chelsea as Lamela collides with him. The call goes Chelsea's way although Lamela will feel he should have had the free-kick for Spurs.
-
28'Kieran Trippier puts an enticing ball into the box from a free-kick. Caballero comes off his line to punch away but appears to have collided with Rudiger in the process. The Chelsea number two looks to be fine though.
-
24'Eriksen puts an absolute peach of a ball into the box from midfield. Son chases to get on the end of it but Marcos Alonso is there to defend for Chelsea.
-
22 'Kieran Trippier is down after a challenge with Hazard in which the Belgian's arm clipped Tripper's jaw.
-
20'CHELSEA CHANCE - Lloris, not known for his fancy footwork, fumbles a clearance which allows Chelsea straight back in for the shot. Higuain has a go but it's just wide.

-
15'Sissoko brings Kovacic down and Chelsea have a free-kick in their own half.

-
10'Higuain does well to take it all the way to the back-line for Chelsea but his cross is a routine pick-up for Lloris.
