Two goals from England international Dele Alli saw Tottenham end Chelsea’s 13-game winning streak in fantastic fashion last night. The goals came on either side of half-time and were enough to move Spurs to within seven points of the Blues at the top of the table.The first chance of the match arrived in the 5th minute when Nemanja Matic delivered the ball over the Spurs defence and it fell to Eden Hazard, only for the Belgian playmaker to drive his effort wide of the post.Both teams continued to press forward in search of the opening goal, but it wasn’t until the 45th minute that it arrived after Christian Eriksen delivered a brilliant cross into the box for Alli to head into the far corner of the net.Alli then sealed the victory in the 54th minute through the same combination that brought the first goal - Eriksen delivered an inch-perfect cross for Alli to nod home to end Chelsea’s 13-game winning run.It was an entertaining game and here are THREE huge positives the victors can take from it...

Dele Alli is a genius

Alli was the cream of the crop for Tottenham as his two goals helped the club to defeat Chelsea. The midfield maestro has already scored ten times in the league this season and seven of those have come in his last four matches!

The PFA Young Player of the Year continues to establish himself as an important member of the Tottenham squad, and looks to be back to the form he showed last term.

He had a wonderful game for Spurs against Chelsea and he was rewarded for his performances with two well-taken goals.

If Spurs are to challenge for the title this season, the 20-year-old will have a key role to play. He looks ready, too!

Title race is blown open

Had Chelsea won the match, they would have opened up an eight-point lead at the top of the table, which could have all but put the title race to bed. However, other Premier League clubs have Tottenham to thank for defeating the Blues.

Following the defeat, Chelsea are just five points clear of second-placed Liverpool and are seven points ahead of third-placed Spurs, whose form over the festive period has made them quiet contenders for the big prize

Spurs are on fire

Tottenham had a slow start to the season but they are now back on track. The Lilywhites have won their last five Premier League matches and the future really does look bright.

In those five, they scored a total of 15 goals and have conceded only three times, they possess a manager who is one of the best coaches in the world and have a young talented squad who are desperate to play for him.

Spurs may not win the Premier League this season but they will surely be around the top with the big boys come the end of the season.
