Spurs hit Chelsea with big five

Tottenham 5 Chelsea 3

Chelsea’s march to the 2015 Premier League title, which seemed inexorable only a few days ago, has suddenly been stopped in its tracks following a humiliating 5-3 defeat at Tottenham which sees them now share pole position with Manchester City at the start of the New Year — and manager Jose Mourinho resorting to conspiracy theories to defend them.

Two goals from irrepressible man of the match Harry Kane, one each from Danny Rose, Nacer Chadli and Andros Townsend (a penalty) set up a memorable London derby win for Spurs on a remarkable afternoon at White Hart Lane which has blown the title race wide open.
